Millennials

How far are we willing to go for a little happiness?

DEKKADANCERS explore strange habits, desires and our talent for making life complicated in their new dance double bill, Millennials. And they’re bringing two major names in international choreography to Jatka78!

You know that feeling when the lyrics of a song seem to speak directly and specifically to you? Suddenly, you’re the main character in an epic story, even though you’re just waiting for a tram. This is just one of the ideas explored in Blackbox Soprano, the piece that opens the evening. In it, Lea Ved plays with our unwavering belief in our own uniqueness, which persists despite all evidence to the contrary.

The second half of the evening belongs to our friends. We have hundreds, sometimes even thousands of them! More than ever before. When we’re in a good mood, we give them a heart or even leave a comment, and they do the same for us. But how many of them can we call when we’re feeling down? Giving someone a like is easy. Letting them get close is another matter. Why is that? In his piece Millennials, Marcos Morau explores intimacy in the digital age.

You no longer need to go to Holland for world-class dance – Holešovice will do.

Both choreographers behind Millennials, the evening’s double bill, have built careers that have earned them international acclaim.

Lea Ved graduated from New York’s prestigious Juilliard School, danced with the Royal Swedish Ballet and Nederlands Dans Theater, and has had her choreography performed at the Gothenburg Opera.

Marcos Morau has toured more than 30 countries with his company La Veronal, appearing everywhere from London’s Sadler’s Wells to the Venice Biennale. He is a recipient of Spain’s National Dance Award and was named Choreographer of the Year by Tanz magazine in 2023 and 2025.
