Ballet NdB 2: Adam and Eve / REM / Pampúšik
The NdB Ballet’s junior company enters the second half of its first ever season with the spring premiere of Programme 2. As in the autumn, it will be an evening of choreographies created directly for young dancers gaining professional experience.
The story of Adam and Eve is usually associated with the Christian religion because it is the Old Testament story of the creation of human beings. As we all know, Adam and Eve broke the one rule that God placed on them and tasted the forbidden fruit. And this weakness of human beings, which alternates between desire and temptation, persists in human beings to this day.
Do you have dreams? Do you remember them? Join us for one such dream, called REM, directly on stage, inspired not only by the dreams of the choreographer herself, but also by the paintings of René Magritte and the thoughts of Polish artist Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. Anything can happen in the world of dreams. And often the only thing that remains from dreams is a feeling that, although strong, cannot be put into words.
Choreography Pampúšik is a small manifesto of childhood. The main role is played by a human puppet who is gradually filled with disappointment. Just as it gradually appears in each of us from childhood and slips into our being unnoticed with the coming of age and the routine of life. Let’s get loose, step out of our “adult” lives, play, be free and let ourselves be carried away by joys and follies!
Premiere: 3rd of March at 19.00 in Reduta Theatre
Length: 2h, 2 intermissions (*screening of NdB 2 documentary before last part Pampúšik)
