About

On 30 September, the Dance On educational programme under the ND+ banner will bring all ballet fans a new opportunity to experience how choreography is created. This time, we will also focus on a topic that moves the cultural map, namely the anniversary of Franz Kafka's death.

Fraser Roach, the member of the Czech National Ballet, will present his latest creation, Boys a Bug.

It is a unique opportunity for the audience to witness the behind-the-scenes process of creating a ballet – the challenges, the triumphs, and the delicate journey dancers and choreographers take before the final performance goes to the stage.

“Boys a Bug is loosely inspired by Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, exploring the transformation of a man into an insect and his agonizing denial of his grotesque fate,” explains Fraser Roach, the choreographer.

In the rehearsal, the audience will see the incredible dancers Jakub Rašek and Romina Contreras bring this haunting tale to life with their remarkable artistry.
