BOLERO

The programme brings together four choreographies of contemporary dance theatre. The musical accompaniment of two of them commemorates important anniversaries of world composers Georges Bizet and Maurice Ravel. The performers are members of the Ballet Praha Junior company.

 

Choreography: Lidia Wos

Music: Georges Bizet

The company staged Five Heavenly Solos as a gesture of thanks for its long-standing collaboration, since 2006, with Lidia Wos, a Swedish choreographer of Polish origin. At the same time, it is a tribute to the composer Georges Bizet on the 150th anniversary of his death. The individual solos present the originality of a woman’s inner life, as well as her place in society.

 

Choreography: Vlasta Schneiderová

Music: Petr Hapka

 

Choreography: Šimon Kubáň

Music: Travis Lake

A former member of Ballet Praha Junior and now an established choreographer of the youngest generation chose music by the contemporary British composer Travis Lake.

 

Choreography: Attila Egerházi

Music: Maurice Ravel

The works of Hungarian choreographer Attila Egerházi, thanks to a long-term collaboration dating back to 1999, form a cornerstone of Ballet Praha Junior’s repertoire. The choreographer created Rouge as a tribute to Maurice Ravel — in 2025, we commemorated the 150th anniversary of his birth.
