NEW STAGE of National Theatre

JULY AT THE NEW STAGE

New Stage is an open space for modern theatre, offering a wide artistic portfolio. Therefore, even the month of June offers you a rich palette of foreigner-friendly shows.

One of the ensembles to regularly perform at the New Stage is Laterna magika, the so-called “theatre of miracles”. in June, you can come and see as many as five of their great shows: Casanova, Cocktail 012, Anticodes, Legends of magic Prague and Graffiti. We first and foremost recommend the new multimedia production Anticodes, one to draw inspiration from Václav Havel‘s visual experimental poetry. This visual-movement show featuring cutting-edge multimedia technology ranks among high-end contemporary theatre productions of our time and it would be a mistake to miss it.

LEGENDARY CULLBERG BALLET COMES TO PRAGUE!

Legendary company comes to Prague! Choreographer Alexander Ekman is conquering the international dance scene. In 2006 he was said to be “a rising young choreographer to keep an eye on”. In October 2010 he created his first full length evening: Ekman’s Triptych - A Study of Entertainment. Three separate works weave through a multitude of expressions, where dance meets dialogue, wit becomes wistful and the meaningful cohorts with the meaningless. What is entertainment?

“This is my first full-evening performance and it is tremendously inspiring! This is a fabulous opportunity. I want to create an evening that surprises the audience on so many different levels. The work contains three themes with three moods. I have always been fascinated by the difference between art and entertainment, and I will try to get the audience to question entertainment’s clichés,” said Alexander Ekman in autumn 2010. more
