Presenting the project to the dancers and recording with Jiří Lábus

The program for the two evenings at the National Theatre is now confirmed. The audience will see four films: Schwarzfahrer, Scalamare, Between Entrance and Exit and Car-Men, which will be preceded by a short introduction curated by Jiří Kylián and dramatised and recorded by Jiří Lábus.

During the making of the recordings, we all felt an extraordinary excitement. And, of course, the evening wouldn't be complete if it didn't include dancing! Jiří Kylián presents his ideas to the Czech National Ballet and asks who would like to participate in the project – there is no pressure to join, the dancers involvement is strictly voluntary.
