Concept

A unique conceptual project arranged by Jiří Kylián showcasing his films, choreography, spoken word and a new installation of sculptures.

Program and installation

The installation Moving Still will open on June 26, 2024 on the Václav Havel Square in Prague. The opening will be preceded by an exclusive program at the National Theatre curated by Jiří Kylián. The program at the National Theatre will include Jiří Kylián’s films: Schwarzfahrer, Scalamare, Between Entrance and Exit and Car-men. Czech actor Jiří Lábus, the famous Norwegian jazz trumpetist and composer Nils Petter Molvær and more than 50 dancers and actors will guide you through the interludes. This unique evening at the National Theatre will be followed by the opening of Kylián's installation Moving Still outside on the piazzetta live accompanied by Nils Petter Molvær.

The same program will take place on June 27, 2024.
