Choreographer

The ballet company’s second major premiere of the 2025/2026 season will not be a single full-length production, but rather an evening composed of several works by different choreographers. The ensemble will present pieces in modern and neoclassical dance styles, showcasing the distinctive authenticity of each choreographer’s movement language—yet connected by the shared theme of the inner world, Czech roots, and the Czech spirit.

Inside

Theater of JK Tyl New Stage

During a single week, a girl grows into a woman and her dreams turn into a dark nightmare. The world is no longer as Valerie has imagined it. This initiation rite reveals the secrets of the passage to adulthood and social hypocrisy through hyperbole and sarcasm borrowed from Vítězslav Nezval. The production is a poetic adaptation of the bizarre dark novel, which still evokes emotions, passion and fear.

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

The Estates Theatre

The future is, in many respects, a great unknown. Will there be peace? Will nature recover? Where and how will our society develop? In the two-part dance performance at the Vidmarhallen, the two choreographers Jiří Pokorný and Ella Rothschild explore this theme, allowing two echoes of a future to resonate through dance in their new creations.

Echoes manifest in the body as traces of movement, as repetitions, distortions, and slowing down. The body becomes a sensor for what is to come, a seismograph of a future that announces itself in gesture, breath, and rhythm.
