Tell us about a situation where you had to adapt quickly to inevitable changes on stage

The Czone event focuses on new talents and uprisings. The joy that these actors experience after having been in front of hearings of over a thousand people motivates them because it is a challenge for them to access the platforms. 39 such a magnitude. These talents become more promising and motivated to pursue their dreams even further.
