Rachel Portman

Musical hit from London by Oscar-winning composer

South Specific 2026 – festival premiere
The festival is held under the auspices of the mayor of the statutory city of České Budějovice.

24. 7. - 9. 8. 2026

The timeless adventure of a young boy who leaves the safe embrace of his tiny planet to travel across the universe. Through a series of extraordinary encounters, he discovers the true essence of what matters in life.

"All grown-ups were once children, but only few of them remember it." This magical work by Rachel Portman, a British film composer and an Academy Award-holder, will be presented in its Czech premiere as a spectacular production for the whole family.
