Nikola Márová: Primabalerína
Nikola Márová became the star of her generation and an unwavering fixture of the Prague National Theatre Ballet, where she reigned as prima ballerina for almost twenty years. Her career was crowned with success in the form of awards, famous roles, encounters with choreographic personalities of the calibre of Jiří Kylián, Mats Ek, and John Neumeier, as well as extraordinary critical acclaim. She was praised for the purity of her classical technique, the elegant curves of her body, her unique charisma, and her humility, will, and willingness to work hard.
But similar things are said about almost every prima ballerina. So what makes Nikola Márová unique? Perhaps her lifelong battle with a badly healed shattered elbow. Perhaps her fondness for tattoos. Perhaps her extreme love for animals, from saving snails on the road as a child to rescuing fish that had jumped out of the aquarium onto the carpet. Ballet has shaped and accompanied Nikola throughout her life, yet she refuses to be labelled solely as a prima ballerina. She is a mother, a daughter, and a sister with an extremely strong bond with her family. She is a lover of nature and tea rituals. She is a quiet strength and a fragile soul.
In this wide-ranging interview, she describes her life both inside and outside the inimitable world of ballet with sincere openness. The overall picture is completed by messages from selected personalities, who portray Nikola Márová not only as a professional dancer but, above all, as a person.
