Project summary

The project Upcoming Fursona focuses on strengthening the ability to present the artists work in progress (Fursona by Czech artists Vendula Tomšů and Johana Pocková) to performing arts promoters from the Czech Republic and abroad. The Malá Inventura Festival is an effective platform for building lasting relationships that benefit all parties involved. The project Upcoming Fursona provides an ideal opportunity for artists to present themselves in front of a wide range of professionals and for us, as promoters of this project, to explore the possibilities and impact that targeted concentrated support for Fursona. Other partners of the project are friendly festivals in Poland (Teatr A Part) and Bulgaria (ACT Festival).
