According to the stars, it was to have been a year full of violent change - which it fulfilled one hundred percent. On February 1st, the Year of the Sheep will take over. What will it bring us? We invite you to the untraditional space of Ponec Theatre for our traditional celebration, with the assurance that there will be delights in store not only for the ears, but for the other senses as well - including rare Chinese teas, wines and other delicacies.
