When the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic hit Europe in March 2020, the South Bohemian Theatre ballet company was busy rehearsing Petr Zuska and Štěpán Benyovsky’s new ballet Radio Free Cunning Little Vixen. 

Dance Film Festival Prague is going to happen in May, but organisers of this event already have now prepared a little teaser for its audience. 

The preparations of the production of Radio Free Cunning Little Vixen were cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic days before the première. 

In the past days, the news has been all but positive. However, apart from the downsides that media tend to discuss over and over again, on a daily basis, the current situation has a positive face, too.

Ballet company of the National Theatre in Prague prepared two premieres in one month.

Resurrection. That is what we can call the current events around the Prague Chamber Ballet. The company, which was founded in the mid-1960’s, enjoys certain sentiment from Czech audiences who keep the company going.

Anything you choose from 420PEOPLE’s repertoire, there is one thing you can rely one – you will see excellent dance performances, unmatched in the Czech dance world.

Mário Radačovský, a Slovak native and the current artistic director of the Brno National Theatre ballet, has been the head of the second biggest Czech company for five years. 

The Prague Chamber Ballet spent the last few years searching an identity, a route to be accepted as a full-bodied part of the Czech scene. 

The latest ballet premiere at the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre in Ostrava is another well-thought-out move of the ballet company’s artistic director Lenka Dřímalová.
