The iconic A Clockwork Orange as a ballet? Why not, if the artists from the DekkaDancers creative unit with their team and the outstanding dancers of the South Bohemian Ballet get down to it. The controversial topic has been reworked without unnecessarily difficult narration. The imaginative choreography, free from any ballet clichés, takes pride in occasional millimetre timing, only to burst out into spontaneous, animalistic dance. Kubrick’s film succeeds brilliantly in conveying the “aesthetic elevation” of violence through music and visual art. Acher’s soundtrack has references to Beethoven and uses colloquial Czech; Eva Jiřikovská’s minimalist design surprises the audience with sophisticated insights and gradually revealed symbolism. And then there is the great Sebastiano Mazzia as Alex. In short, unexpected, engraved in my memory.
