COME SEE COMME ÇA
Come see, Comme ça is about uncovering the nature of several people whom destiny has brought to one location. The work is inspired by the Baroque concept of paradox and contrast. The choreography is a story about human needs, which have a chance to appear only in certain specific circumstances. One of these situations is a party. At that moment, needs that are often hidden from the outside world override normal instincts and habitual behaviour, and both sides of the personality can be seen: friendly and warm as well as shameful and hateful. How much truth is in their behaviour? Come see. You will see that they are not happy. They feel "so-so", comme ci, comme ça.
MUSICA SLOVACA
Contemporary Slovak composer Ilja Zelenka was inspired by two folk songs from Čičmany and Dolny Vadičov. Šmok's choreography also springs from the spirit of Slovak folklore. It's a kind of tribute to modern ballet by one of its main sources of inspiration – folk dance.
SILENT SCREAM
The inspiration to create a chamber drama for three dancers was Dvořák's symphonic poem The Water Goblin. The storyline takes place in the present and speaks about interpersonal relationships and events that may be happening around us, often behind closed doors.
The dramatic qualities of Dvořák's brilliant music enhance and highlight the conflict of love, passion and selfishness, which leads to a tragic end.
