The reconciliation that the Arena presents at La Fabrice on 5 November is the second piece of free historical trilogy and deals with the expulsion / expulsion of Germans after the Second World War. It returns to bloody rampage, which has resulted in three million Germans leaving their homes. The peripetities of these Czech-German relations are accompanied by the figures of the Officer, the Partyzano and the Soldier who actively participate in the expulsion and settlement. The ubiquitous Czech choir provides an authentic comment by word, verse and singing.
On November 6, La Fabrice concludes an historic trilogy on the Aréna Chamber Scene. The Game With Hope, without it, was created according to the book of Josef Slansky, the widow after the former Communist Party's secretary, Rudolf Slansky.

Striking music drama about the lives of two great 20th-century figures. Tiny Edith Piaf conquered Paris, Divine Marlene Dietrich worshiped Hollywood, both of them gained the whole world. In fact, these two women met only a few moments. One was able to make a world of acting, and the other to sing with wonderful singing. From their encounters and life fates, a tale full of contrasts, women's emotions and gorgeous music arose. Hana Fialova won Thalia 2014 for her outstanding performance as Edith Piaf.
