New premiere Metaphors of Dance, which took place on 18th October, 2015 at The Estates Theatre, presents three pieces made by contemporary choreographers – Alexandra Dziurosz, Hana Litterová, Žiga Jereb and Anna Štěrbová. These artists are connected not only by their Slavic origin, but also by their effort to create a comprehensible work with the main role of dance. Dance, which may have a diverse vocabulary of movement, however, is the carrier of the ideas of the pieces and is created in accordance with the musical accompaniment.
The theme of the premiere is the human behaviour with its bright and dark sides. What influences our behaviour? Conventions, social norms, emotions, passions, senses … What can cause violent suppression of personality or vice versa completely uncontrolled behaviour?
