Discover the story of the Ballet Prague company, which embodied the new wave of choreography in the 1960s and brought Pavel Šmok to Basel, Switzerland: in the publication (Studio Ballet Prague) – The New Wave of Czechoslovak Choreography. The entire life story of Pavel Šmok as a creator and artist consumed by movement and a desire to tell stories through dance is presented in the publication Pavel Šmok – A Choreographer with the Soul of a Poet. We have not forgotten his colleague Luboš Ogoun, with whom he founded the Balet Praha company. Although their paths diverged after a few years, with 2025 marking the 100th anniversary of Ogoun’s birth, we decided to dedicate a monograph to him as well: Luboš Ogoun – Star of the Brno Ballet.
