EXTASY

Vladislav met Andrey Petrovič in what is now the National Theater in Košice, during creating music for “The Possessed” performance. One of Andreys tasks as a ballet director in the theater was to change and expand the concept of perception of dance performance and implement new ideas as well in artistic form. The result is an ECSTASY performance that offered the audience comprehensible, airy and light-hearted dance performance, very much within the original treatment the general theme of women and their many transformations during life. Transformations from a girl to a woman, to the law of preservation of the human race on this earth. Andrey Petrovič (performer, dancer, teacher, former assistant of Akram Khan) together with members of Balley department in National Theater Košice won a prestigious Slovakian theater award “DOSKY”, for the greatest artistic achievement of the season. Vladislav won the same prize for the best music of the season. “This award is all the more valuable to me because it was created during the strictest times of Covid lockdown measures. During curfews, travel and public premises. It was created in basements, cellars, hiding places. It all had a magical touch underground, which an unvaccinated person could not avoid.”
