Havel had ties to the Theatre Institute (now the Arts and Theatre Institute) already back in the 1960s and again during the Velvet Revolution, when the Theatre Institute gave support to the theatres on strike.

On Friday, 16 September, a gala opening was held at the town hall in France’s ‘puppetry metropolis’ Charleville-Mézières for the exhibition Marionnettes An Zero (Puppets since Year Zero), which was organised by the Arts and Theatre Institute as part of the biennial World Festival of Puppet Theatre (16. 9. - 25. 9. 2011).
