The main outline of the intimate dance work by a choreography student from the Department of Dance Production at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, Hana Vidova, is a contrast of physicality, spirituality, strength and fragility, asceticism and sensuality. It is a search for traces of animality in movement through extraordinary imagery. The choreographer focuses on the perception of details and impulses of movement that result in intense emotions from the dance, and her signature draws from a wide range of dance styles. Andrea Pojezdálová's costume design presents sophisticated female silhouettes in shades of black to enhance the magical atmosphere of the work.

An intimate choreography is a slightly surreal image of four women preparing for a lavish party in style. Lacko Cmorej, the choreographer, will once again offer a surprising mixture of dance styles and theatricality with an emphasis on character portrayal and comedy - in collaboration with Monika Prikkelová, a significant personality of the domestic and foreign "vogue" scene. The stylish costumes of the fashion designer Terézie Feňovčíková, immersed in black as the colour of the night, are inspired by film and theatre and complete the suggestiveness of dance micro-stories in glamour style.

The movement fresco depicts the forms of the relationship between people and fashion and their interaction. Both creators are searching for the limits between passion and obsession. They ask to what extent fashion, as a phenomenon of beauty and style, influences our everyday lives and when we fall victim to consumerism.
 

Dominik White Slavkovsky's choreography combines classical dance technique and contemporary dance styles with a dose of humour and irony. The concept of the work is supported by Lenka Sršňová's unmistakable style, her refined play with prints combined with simple designs and sophisticated textile appliqués.

The author's manifesto on the importance of freedom, the need for tolerance and respect for the individuality of each person. The creative team, for whom the impulse was the suppression of human rights and the principles of humanism, escaped into an idealised world full of beauty, nature, colour and light in this piece of art.

 

The choreographer Martin Winter and the fashion designer Marcel Holubec W communicate the meaning of absolute freedom metaphorically - the flight of a bird or the motif of a light feather flying are the supporting elements of the abstract stage shape. The provocative inspiration of the richly shaped Baroque is modified to challenge theatricality and contemporary demands for functionality. The atmosphere of the ballet, which conveys a specific moral appeal and celebrates the diversity and uniqueness of humanity.
