Anton Lachky's latest choreography for the dancers of the Central Europe Dance Theatre takes us into a world of contrasts, connecting generations and cultures, and transporting us to a series of stories where anything seems possible. It swirls like water, sometimes softly enveloping you and caressing you with a light loving touch, sometimes surging madly and sucking you in with its power.

We can enjoy the crazy speed, virtuosity and colourful scenes of the choreography. Then, after the applause, we can search for answers as to why all this is appealing, while knowing that it is unsustainable, just as the pace of the work is often pushed to the limit. So how do we move on with our lives?



Anton Lachky was born in Slovakia and trained as a dancer at P.A.R.T.S. under the direction of A.Teresa de Keersmeaker (Belgium).From 2004 he was a member of the world famous Akram Khan Company for two years, after which he co-founded Les SlovaKs Dance Collective.  With their three works, the collective has gained a significant international reputation. In 2012 Anton founded his own ensemble. He won an award from the Minister of Culture for his work "Mind the Gap".

In addition to her own company, she also focuses on creating in marginal areas of dance to contribute to its development (Costa Rica, Helsinki, Zagreb, Gothenburg, Salzburg, Budapest, etc.).
