English- Reviews: A "Young" Ultima Vez at Archa Theatre -23.12.2011
A prominent Belgian company Ultima Vez came to Prague for the seventh time last December to introduce one of theirlatest productions. Production Radical Wrong as a generational statement of teenagers today and in their own interpretation is a perfect psychological probe of Wim Vandekeybus into the world of young people, both in the preparatory stage, where he let them do anything, and in the final implementation. Rebelling against themselves and everything, seeking life values that complywith...
- Reviews: A Pleasant Dream of a Classical Romantic Ballet in Brno -04.12.2011
In November 2011 the repertoire of the National Theatre ballet in Brno received a present – a gem of the romantic ballet era, Giselle. The piece, which is a charming recollection of the naivety of the 19th century and a great display of dance technique still untouched by a superficial postromantic virtuality. It is a remembrance of a time when ballet was indeed a theatre of action, yet lost nothing of its lyricism and sensitivity. With a feeling of nostalgia the spectator in Brno can enjoy a...
- Reviews: A Bit Too Much of Bruce -19.11.2011
The National Theatre Ballet ensemble has introduced the first premiere of the season, a piece called Moonshine, composed of choreographies by Christopher Bruce, a famous British author and former artistic director of the London-based Ballet Rambert. Even before the opening night took place, Czech audiences also had had the opportunity to get to know Christopher Bruce in a way somewhat different from his artistic work. The National Theatre organized a week before the premiere at the New Stage...
- Reviews: Road Movie of Pina Bausch -29.08.2011
A new movie Pina by Wim Wenders is scheduled to appear in Czech cinemas soon. We had the opportunity to see Europe's first 3D film on Wednesday, July 24th 2011 at the Atlas cinema and would like to share our experiences now. The film gives a spectator an idea of the life of one of the most talented dancers in the second half of last century Pina Bausch, who died in June 2009. The idea to make such a dance movie arose from a genuine and longstanding friendship between Pina Bausch and film...
- Reviews: Napoli -03.11.2010
Auguste Bournonville has for ballet lovers become a symbol of Danemark such as the famous Little Mermaid. At the time of my visit of Copenhagen, the Little Mermaid was at the Expo exhibition in Shanghai, Bournonville was gone for long. The Royal Theatre has his ballet Napoli on its repertoire since last year´s autumn. Although the authors Sorella Englund and Nikolaj Hübbe appeal to the legacy and heritage of the great master, they shift the storyline closer to present and employ „necessary“...
- Reviews: Wandering into the depths of a male soul… -27.10.2010
There are not many men in dance, not even nowadays. Nevertheless, Festival 4+4 days in motion presented two performances this year, packed with male element and energy. After Jo Strømgren Kompani, Club Guy & Roni introduced themselves with a new work Alpha Boys. The authors Guy Weizman and Roni Haver freely followed their choreography Language of Walls, presented in Prague in 2004. Instead of women there are men here, instead of female attributes the male ones. Not entirely...
- Reviews: Transforma -08.06.2010
A new choregraphic work Transforma, by Israeli choreographer Maya Lipsker in collaboration with VerTeDance, premiered in Ponec theatre on 27th April 2010. It was a surprising evening. Veronika Kotlíková and Tereza Ondrová (VerTeDance) invited the Israeli choregrapher whose work attracted them at the festival TanzZeit in Germany.Transforma releases strong emotions that hide beneath the skin of every existence. Women transform into wild cats, wild cats into beasts, beasts into…the circle goes on...
- Reviews: La Bayadère – to the Brilliant of the Classic Ballet to Dresden -04.06.2010
The ballet company of SemperOper in Dresden had a very unsettled past. It belonged to the most progressive companies in Germany in the 1920s but in 1945 it lost its building and it formed a more universal body after the era of Soviet ballets at the end of the 1970s to come back to the newly-built theatre forty years after the war. It has been among the top ensembles under the guidance of Aaron S. Watkin from Canada. The works by contemporary authors (Forsythe, Dawson, Kylián) can be...
- Reviews: Dance and Newton's Laws of Motion in Ponec -11.05.2010
A relatively new performance by Barbora Látalová called Fg = G [(m1m2)/r²] was chosen for the prestigious competition of Czech dance art Czech Dance Platform and little and adult viewers could see it on Saturday afternoon on 17th April 2010 on the stage in Ponec. Two dancers dance like two objects in the gravity field. They are drawn by gravity and magnetic force and they examine what is in their surroundings. Newton's laws are confirmed and they are introduced with a funnier and digestible...
- Reviews: Othello in the National Theatre -28.04.2010
This year's season of the National Theatre ballet in Prague is characterized by dramatic ballets. Another great literary character has appeared in the repertoire after Faust (of the Czech origin) – Othello by choreographer Youri Vámos who can be considered Czech author as well; the NT ballet stages his two ballets and the State Opera and the National Theatre in Brno stage his pieces as well. A regular visitor of theatres knows the style of this dance narrator and a new artwork is not...
