Kristýna Peldová, Enya Belak: Unfolded Moments
The performance was selected as one of ten contemporary dance productions—chosen from a highly competitive pool of 214 applications—to be presented at the second edition of the Moving Balkans Contemporary Dance Showcase, recognising its artistic quality and relevance within the regional context.

The choreographically dynamic dance-visual performance is distinguished by its ingenious blend of technology and technique, which appears both conceptually meaningful and visually captivating. [SIGLEDAL, Metod Zupan]
The creators, Krýstina Peldová and Enya Belak, explored and delved into contrasts between the visible and the invisible, between the transparent and the sensory, through movement and video projections. In doing so, they uncovered unwanted memories and distressing moments of the protagonist, bringing to the stage a unique theatrical vision titled Unfolded Moments. [Parada plesa, Daliborka Podboj]
“Unfolded Moments” is a hybrid dance and visual performance that takes the performer on a journey through the human mindscape, exploring inner shadows, fears, and identity. Created by Kristýna Peldová and Enya Belak, the performance traces moments of personal crisis and portrays how one navigates selfhood through inner struggles.
Through movement and video projections, the creators play with contrasts between visible and invisible, transparency and subtlety. A crisis emerges as an urge to escape, disrupted by overwhelming visual and external stimuli. This tension overpowers the desire for calm, compelling the body to respond and adapt to an intense environment of shifting forces.
Unfolded Moments captures the sensation of a scattered mind in its desperate search for focus and peace. The dance here unfolds between the manifested and unmanifested … in the place of duality – dark and light.
