Three choreographers: Krzysztof Pastor, Iván Pérez and Wayne McGregor - three perceptions of the relationship between a human being and passing time.

During the formation of this ballet evening, the main goal was to provide the audience with an opportunity of meeting choreographers whose dance vocabulary is contemporary, different and not yet familiar, so it will be a new and very interesting experience.

Moving Rooms (set to the music of Alfred Schnittke and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki) tells the story of emotions trapped in space – how a human struggle for one‘s place in the world unfolds against the backdrop of geometric shapes drawn by light. Who is our opponent and who sets the rules on the chessboard of life? In Flesh (set to the music of Arvo Pärt and Eric Whitacre), the choreographer questions his own perception of memory, loss, love, and death. Infra (music by Max Richter) observes what is going on underneath a busy city, under the human surface, revealing many portraits of society and relationships.
