In the new ballet triptych we will propose two choreographies created especially for our team and one of the greatest hits of the repertoire of the contemporary dance scene.

Consistently promoting young Polish choreographic thought, we will show the latest work of Katarzyna Kozielska, an artist still little known in the country, because she was previously associated with the Stuttgart Ballet, and already enjoying international recognition.

The discovery for our viewers will probably be an encounter with the work of Eyal Dadon, an artist associated for a long time with the famous Israeli Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company. He is not only a talented dancer and choreographer, but also the author of soundtracks for his works.

The special highlight of this evening will certainly be the Polish premiere of one of Alexander Ekman's most appreciated ballets. We will finally see his Cacti, which for more than a dozen years have been very successful at prices all over the world.

This ironic, gripping composition was an expression of the artist's youthful rebellion and at the same time a manifesto of his deep faith in the freedom of interpretation of contemporary art. Full consent. We will succumb to this thought throughout this evening.
