NdB 2: Silence Full of People / At Every End of Light, There Is a Tunnel

Where does solitude end and closeness begin? And how many of the boundaries that constrain us have we created ourselves?

Program 9 from the NdB2 junior ballet ensemble presents two new choreographies that turn their focus toward the individual—exploring both the inner world and relationships with others. In *Silence Full of People* (*Ticho plné lidí*), Klaudie Lakomá examines various forms of solitude—ranging from the feeling of being alone in a crowd and isolation, to the moment when solitude can become a space for self-discovery. In *At Every End of Light, There Is a Tunnel* (*Na každém konci světla je tunel*), Marek Svobodník ventures beyond the boundaries we construct in our lives—boundaries we eventually begin to perceive even where none originally existed.

These two choreographic perspectives are united by the search for one’s own place—somewhere between solitude and closeness, restriction and freedom, the need for self-protection, and the courage to reach out toward others once again.
