After a break of several years, the choreographer and stage director par excellence Libor Vaculík is returning to the National Theatre Ballet. He has engraved himself in our audience’s consciousness as a creator of numerous highly acclaimed original ballets, enriching the National Theatre Ballet’s repertoire with distinctive and attractive titles akin to dance theatre. This time he will stage his own dance version of the Faust story. In line with the classical literary text, Libor Vaculík will raise the most essential, and apparently most frequent, questions concerning the sense of our desires and the price we are willing to pay for their fulfilment. In this production, Faust will deal with the timeless and still pressing themes of love, cognition, sacrifice and eternity in the shocking conditions our “civilisation” permitted (this time) in the period of World War II.
