At the beginning of the evening, the two main protagonists of 420PEOPLE, Nataša Novotná and Václav Kuneš, will introduce the program and it’s four new choreographies.  420PEOPLE were given the opportunity to work with the Israeli choreographer par excellence, Ohad Naharin. His new duet Bolero will be performed by Nataša Novotná and Rei Watanabe.

Václav Kuneš presents two new pieces. Duet On an Even Keel, made in co production with the Korzo Theater, is a first part of the yet-to-be created trilogy, which started with successful Small Hour in 2007 (winning the Sazka Award in the Czech Republic and participating on a national Dutch tour - DansClick).

In his newest choreography Golden Crock, Kuneš worked mainly with guest dancers. In this dynamic trio you will see, among others, Francesco Nappa, former soloist of the Monte Carlo Ballet.

Tom Rychetsky, member of the National Theatre Ballet in Prague will perform his own solo, 5 Steps Towards You.

After the performance there is an opportunity to stay for a discussion between the audience and the dancers/choreographers.

All these performances are accompanied by workshops of contemporary technique for professional dancers and the students of dance.

PROGRAM 12/ 2008




When something happens that changes one’s life for ever, does “an hour” remain just one hour? We are coming back in our memories for those moments in many following days, months and years afterwards, for how many hours in total?
And how many hours we spend trying to forget it. In both cases we spent again hours accepting it.




For me each step is step towards you. Same applies for the staps backward.




“I saw a synthesizer on the record jacket, behind Bach. For the first time, I discovered that the synthesizer is not an instrument to compose music by using the sounds of existing instruments, but a new instrument or new machine which creates unlimited sound sources” Isao Tomita, 1977
