NdB 3 / Masters: On an Overgrown Path, Supper

Balet NdB 3 is a platform for exceptional performers in the mature stage of their dance careers. As with the junior ballet company, the inspiration for this concept comes from the approach of world-renowned choreographer Jiří Kylián, who championed the philosophy of the three dimensions of an artistic career at the famous Nederlands Dans Theater nearly fifty years ago.

The Balet NdB 3 project premiered at EXPO 2025 in collaboration with the Brno Philharmonic and Czech piano virtuoso Ivo Kahánek.

The evening will feature two choreographies:

On an Overgrown Path

In his interpretation of *On an Overgrown Path*, Mário Radačovský brings stories about the fragility of life to the stage. Through his vision, seven dancers portray vignettes about time—which flows inexorably for us all—and about those moments when the present can suddenly transform into eternity. With its apparent simplicity, Janáček’s timeless music perfectly underscores a choreography that reminds us of an important truth: that every ending also brings the hope of a new beginning.

Dinner

Two characters—a man and a woman—are preparing a celebratory dinner. Unexpected news suddenly shifts the atmosphere of the preparations; what appears to be good news may hold the opposite meaning for one of them. Guests are at the door, and appearances of composure and social convention must be maintained... Where will the situation lead? Choreography set to music by Bohuslav Martinů and Vít Gregor.
