The title D.M.J. 1953–1977 – representing the initials of the names of three great Czech composers, Dvořák, Martinů and Janáček – is in reality the inscription on the tomb of a girl who died young. There are places where something extraordinary happens to us several times in the course of our life, and there are moments of grace when we can experience the throbbing of the universe in our veins, feel the direct presence of God and come face to face with ourselves. The place can be a mountain rang...e, a desert, a rock in the ocean or a cemetery, the grave of a young girl where the shock of the inscription suddenly awakens the viewer to the reality of death. Maria\'s Dream aims to translate a dream from the language of poetry to the language of dance, a dream of Maria Taglioni, one of the outstanding figures in the history of ballet, that she recounted to a psychologist in London in 1847. The dream gives us a glimpse into the innermost corners of the soul of her. It is at once metamorphosis, absurdity, fragile lyricism, coarse humour and prophetic vision. The work is a blend of two largely independent ballets: the artist’s famous Grand Pas de Quatre, and The Dying Swan created many years after Maria’s death, demonstrating the special sensitivity of the virtuoso ballerina. Of course, it is possible that she would not fully agree with the above, but there can be no doubt that her refined, ethereal being is here among us, and smiling. Let us smile back at her. Each part of the five-part ballet Sinfonietta is a dream-like vision based on folklore. The choreography achieves perfect harmony between dance and music and hovers on the borderline between realism and abstraction.
