Händel and Štěpán Polanský. The opening night takes place on December 11, 2011, beginning at 8 p.m. at the New Stage of National Theatre in Prague as part of the evening programme PRAGUE CHAMBER BALLET AND GUESTS. In addition to this piece other works, such as Unspoken Silence by Tomáš Rychetský (company DekkaDancers) and the latest choreography by Mario Radačovský (Ballet Bratislava) are to be performed there too.Since the end of September dancers of the Prague Chamber Ballet have been rehearsing the new choreography by Hana Turečková. Alongside the soloists of the Prague Chamber Ballet (Lenka Bílková, Denisa Kubášová, Ivana Sikorová and David Stránský) guests Tomáš Červinka and Jakub Sedláček are scheduled to perform too. Štěpán Polanský has been asked to collaborate on music, stage design and lighting design is by renowned German artist Marcus Selg and costume design was created collaboration with Atelier LaFormela of Antonín Soukup. The name of the new piece is derived from the term "mono no aware" that appears in the Japanese literature and can be loosely translated as an authentic sigh of a being.
