Inside
A modern ballet evening, uniting diverse choreographies under the theme of the inner world
The ballet company’s second major premiere of the 2025/2026 season will not be a single full-length production, but rather an evening composed of several works by different choreographers. The ensemble will present pieces in modern and neoclassical dance styles, showcasing the distinctive authenticity of each choreographer’s movement language—yet connected by the shared theme of the inner world, Czech roots, and the Czech spirit.
One part of the program will be Sinfonietta by Petr Zuska, set to music by Leoš Janáček, which audiences could see in Plzeň only once before, in January 2025, as part of the celebratory evening Four Rivers marking the 10th anniversary of EHMK. Zuska is an internationally acclaimed Czech choreographer whose works span a wide creative range and an innovative approach to modern dance. His productions are always thoughtful and vibrant, reflecting the world of symbols and archetypes, as well as spiritual and moral questions. He is also one of the few artists able to infuse his choreography with humor, wit, and irony.
