JAMU students reimagine old local Brno stories in their own image. Using today's language, a cheeky and unbridled interpretation of youth, we look back to ancient times when everything was completely different and yet a bit the same. A dynamic short story in which a multitude of characters alternate in an entertaining and dynamic interpretation by five young actors. Violin, cajon and guitar, the tempo is more than dizzying, the wilderness is exuberant.

Dailla is a singer who sings and composes with her heart and creates with emotions. As a psychology student, she is fascinated by how people feel, think and connect – whether it is love, confusion or frustration with social expectations. “I can be bolder and freer on stage. It is my way of resisting the pressure to be perfect,” she says. In 2023, she collaborated with alternative producer Rhys Braddock, thanks to which her sound shifted towards a more experimental expression. Since 2024, she has been working with producer Marcello, a well-known name on the Czech pop scene, who helps her songs acquire a distinctive and modern sound. Her previous singles such as Middle Stone, Hide and Seek, Running Wild, Cupid or River Flow combine catchy melodies, playful arrangements and distinctive production – music that will stay in your head and you will love to dance to it.

The year is 1994, a small town in central Scotland. Best friends Johnno and Spanner share a strong bond. But now they are on the verge of adulthood and their paths in life are parting ways: Johnno moves to a better life in another city and Spanner will have to face an uncertain future on his own. But the upcoming summer will be different for them and for the entire country. Britain is experiencing an explosion of the free party scene and the birth of the largest countercultural youth movement in modern history. The boys, yearning for adventure and escape, decide to do one last thing together and go to an illegal rave. They steal money from Spanner's older brother and, under the vague guidance of D-Man, a DJ from a pirate radio station, enter an underworld characterized by anarchy, freedom and head-on confrontation with the forces of order. Beats tells a universally relatable coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of music as eclectic and electrifying as the scene it spawned. It's a contemporary tale of friendship, defiance, and the irresistible power of youth.

Her charisma and specific timbre of her voice are a combination for a strong artistic experience.

A story from a ruthless time when nature was still untamed and full of danger, it tells the story of an apple cider distiller who loses everything, finds himself with his backside bare in the wilderness and must gradually level up to become the best woodsman far and wide. In doing so, he will measure his wit, strength and tenacity not only against the elements, but also against a strange animal, led by the titular hundreds of beavers. The survival story told in a video game revives the genre of silent slapstick for the new millennium. In this much more entertaining and imaginative paraphrase of The REVENANT, instead of DiCaprio, a modern Buster Keaton fights for survival, and his animal opponents are portrayed by people in full-body plush costumes in the style of Studio Kamarád.
