Ballet

The stars of our ensemble bring original choreographies pulsating with the rhythm of the contemporary world. My Place and What's Next? are two dynamic dance performances about the search for one’s place in our constantly changing world about what drives us forward and the moments when we falter.

You don’t go dancing regularly? That makes it an even better reason to start! The performance at the studio stage Na Půdě (In the Loft) is an ideal opportunity to let our charismatic dancers draw you into the energy of the present moment!

This magical stage poem by Tomáš Ondřej Pilař and Martin Šinták will take you into the world of Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances in the form of an all-evening dance performance. Both cycles of this sparkling symphonic music, that reflects the diversity of Czech folk culture in its cheerful, dramatic and melancholic shades, once opened the way to Europe for the author. This poetic production draws on traditional folkloric elements and assembles them into an impressive theatrical mosaic. Join the ballet, the children’s ballet and a large symphonic orchestra on a journey back to the roots.

South Specific 2026 – festival premiere

The setting of a site-specific dance adaptation of Ladislav Fuchs’ novel, made famous by Juraj Herz’s iconic film version, will be the former beer bottling plant in Český Krumlov. This well-known horror story by Mr. Kopfrkingl, set at the beginning of World War II, gains a new – and perhaps even more terrifying – dimension with this interpretation.
The spectators may move freely through the plot, dance in a casino alongside NSDAP members, while behind them the beautiful Lakmé prepares dinner… Outside the window, a procession of Tibetan lamas passes by, and someone keeps dropping a metal rod all the time … From every corner of the bottling plant, different sounds emerge, and no one knows who is only the spectator and who is driving the action…
