The present face of Prague Chamber Ballet is represented by 8 regular and 6 external dancers, who are managing extensive motion list from techniques based on classical dance, through techniques of modern and contemporary dance and techniques based on improvisation. Dancers have rich experience from stone theatres and also alternative dances scenes in Czech Republic or abroad.

 

▶Performance: This story is about the man who does not recognise his identity. Although he looks like a normal person, he plays various roles according to his circumstances. A piece "The Condition of Disappearance" explores the cruelty of apathy in modern times. In this story "disappearance" does not simply mean the state of "non-existence". Rather it is more akin to the process of finding a way out to the exit in a maze.

Quotes from concept:

"Regardless of my volition, my human dignity is killed by others.

My true identity may or may not be revealed by the surroundings.

Its appearance or disappearance is dependent of the others, not me."
