Ballet

A ballet show of the choreographies of three dancers from the South Bohemian Theatre and one guest. The dancers feel like dancing and creating at the same time, and they will show you that during the 3+1 dance evenings. The special guest is Viktor Konvalinka, a soloist of the National Theatre Ballet Ensemble and a member of the artistic group DEKKADANCERS.
 

A vision of the future which becomes our reality. This is what has fascinated Mad Max, Orwell’s 1984, Buñuel’s L’Age d’Or, cyberpunk, Kubrick, Anthony Burgess, and the Ballet Ensemble of the South Bohemian Theatre. For the first time ever, the legendary A Clockwork Orange will be transformed into a dance production at the South Bohemian Theatre. The decadently surreal dance comedy uncovers what happens when the powerful decide to make us their puppets. Shall we let them?

The ballet Cinderella to the music of Sergei Prokofiev is one of the most famous and widely performed ballet titles. The ballet will be choreographed and directed by Petr Zuska, who has already collaborated with our ensemble in the past (Keys from Nowhere, Radio Free Cunning Little Vixen). Cinderella will enrich our repertoire with a new classic.

Short stories about decisions that happened, might happen, or will only remain as dreams...

It often happens that we live in the fantasies of our desires and wishes. We write them down in our diaries, whether imaginary or real. In our minds, we sometimes create the idea of a life we would like to live, but which unfortunately we don’t. Maybe out of fear, incompetence, or just because we don’t know how to continue...
 

An immortal story of great love, but also of hatred. A subject that is truly timeless and relevant in every age. The choreographers Ondřej Vinklát and Tomáš Rychetský have designed a completely new production about the two lovers. It is directed by Dodo Gombár and set to the original music of the contemporary composer Ivan Acher. A dance performance with a modern interpretation that draws from the eclectic lexis of contemporary movement.
 

Faun’s afternoon
Dreaming is the state of transformed consciousness in which the images present in our memory and fantasy fleetingly mix with events in the outer reality. The contents of our dreams are our own past, our emotions and concealed desires.

Labyrinth
Spain, 1944. On one side is the real, cruel post-war world. On the other, there is an imaginary world centred around an overgrown, deserted labyrinth that is a mysterious gateway to an underground kingdom. The main character, Ofelia, escapes from her sadistic stepfather and the cruel reality in which she lives to a fantasy world where she meets Faun. Faun assigns Ofelia three tasks to prove that she is the reincarnation of Princess Moana and to allow her to return to her kingdom.

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.

Transformed into a new dance production, this beautiful fairy-tale will delight not only little spectators, but also their parents and all adherents of the classical ballet en pointe. The soloists of the South Bohemian Theatre appear in this version of The Sleeping Beauty along with the members of the Bohemia Ballet and the students of the Dance Conservatory of the Capital City of Prague. The costumes and the stage design are created by one of the leading Czech theatre designers, Josef Jelínek, and the performance is choreographed by Jaroslav Slavický, the director of the Dance Conservatory of the Capital City of Prague and the artistic director of the Bohemia Ballet.

Death and Love are illusions that drive the world against time and space and that are in turn betrayed by other illusions, such as friendship, rules, and responsibility.
This dance adaptation of the well-known story of the forbidden and unfulfilled love of Tristan and Isolde allows you to experience all the powerful emotions it abounds with. Emotions that either are cried out loud or softly whispered almost without words. Through the body, gestures or a facial expression...

A contemporary dance theatre performance reflecting the constantly changing image of the present

An image of the present, rendered in an ironic, playful, headstrong and self-confident manner. It is cheerful and yet sad in its urgency. What will happen when our dreams come true? Desires and dreams expressed through dance in a unique rendition.
