Announcement of 9th annual competition show Druhá kůže 2020–2021

Motto

Second skin (…) I'd like a house like this. Not, of course, one whose fourth wall I have to share with my neighbors (…), no, the house I dream of should be something like my second skin. It should stretch when I'm in a good mood and bend over me when I'm in a bad way.
