PREMIERE: KINTSUGI
La Fabrika, Prague | 19:30
We will open the new season with the premiere of KINTSUGI, inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Here, cracks are not hidden but become part of the story. “It is not about returning to the original state, but about finding a new way for things to hold together,” says choreographer Václav Kuneš. KINTSUGI reflects the contemporary world as a space of both disruption and renewal, exploring through dance resilience, transformation, and the search for a new sense of wholeness after rupture.

Y / why
La Fabrika, Prague | 19:30
Václav Kuneš’s choreography Y / why brings this choreographic journey to a close by delving into the heart of the human experience. It is a performance that questions, provokes, and ultimately invites the audience to find their own answers. “Why search for meaning through dance? Why not?”

SMOKE AND MIRRORS
Studio Maiselovka, Prague | 19:30
The solo performance by dancer Francesca ‘Amy’ Amante and the solo concert by flamenco guitarist Filip Zubák. They dance and sing, disappearing and reappearing among levitating glass objects. The set design was inspired by the work of artist Vladimíra Klumparová, thanks to whom glass became an integral part of the creative process. It remained solid and fragile at the same time, impressive, beautiful, seemingly abstract, until a combination of circumstances gave it meaning, a story. Just like the illusion created by the combination of smoke and mirrors, this story may also be just an impression. New choreography by Václav Kuneš created especially for Studio Maiselovka.

Moment in Time
La Fabrika, Prague | 19:30
Although we think of time as objective, continuous, and unchanging, we all experience it differently. Certain moments shape and transform our lives, while others fade into insignificance. Even physics suggests that time is relative—near black holes, for example, it appears to slow almost to a standstill. New choreography by Sylva Šafková, created especially for La Fabrika Theatre.

THROUGH GLASS
Dance film
The dance film THROUGH GLASS, directed by Marek Partyš and choreographed by Sylva Šafková, combines contemporary dance and a visual story that describes the image of distorted reality: “Reflections, angles of view, distorted reality...but if you hold it against a mirror, the letters will go again in the right direction."

FLAMMABLE MACHINES - the Audition
Dance film
“We’ll call you. Next please!” A trio of promising participants get much further than the Producer ever expected. The twelfth exactly same musical number gets him off his chair. A few hours in and a guy with number 451 is tap-dancing around his head. This is not an ordinary audition anymore. The Producer isn’t sitting safely behind his table wall. Actually…he does sit there still, but these are not tables anymore. And he is not alone. Now it’s an Audition. For life.

ORĪGĪ
Dance film
The idea for short dance film ORĪGĪ came from the title of an EU project: CLASH! When classic & contemporary dance collide & new forms emerge. Unexpected encounter of three dancers. All of them are very different. Three pairs of shoes. Very different. New people, new situation. Can they adapt? Do they want to adapt? The only thing they have in common is a desire to dance. Is that enough?
