The TANEC PRAHA 2024 Festival takes place under the auspices of the President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel.

Solo for gallery is a performance that can be observed from any distance. It is a dance solo that is a sculpture in time, a play with details, attention but also constant transformation and imagination. The audience will experience a dance dialogue between the exhibited works, the space and the dancer Tereza Ondrová. At the beginning of this new dance drawing, there is a concentrated observation of phenomena or situations in her surroundings, but also within herself, in order to allow her to absorb what is essential. Does a work of art come into being through its physical realization or already at the moment it is mentally conceived - by a mere idea?
