Dance in general is the most complex matter. It includes human body, mind and spirit all at the same time. For that uniqueness to dance is to touch the life itself." M.Záhora
Pulsar association (founded in 2017) is a platform for realization of Michal Záhora’s creative work in the field of contemporary dance. The curator of the project is Honza Malík. Both artists were members of NANOHACH company (2004-2016). Firstly, the project is about creating new performances in all formats of contemporary dance work context. Another aim is to maintain a continual activity in the Czech Republic as well as show the performances abroad. The third aim of the project is to provide education on the professional, semi-professional and amateur level.
The association is supported in 2018 by:
Ministry of the Culture of Czech Republic and City of Prague
The raven circles low above the abyss, guarding the darkness, and above him the falcon soars anticlockwise with the sun on its back ... In the space between their bodies, vertical astral time flows. Darkness below, brightness above.

This solo concert for violoncello is conceived as a duet between sound and image, between the musician and the dancer. Here, in this meeting between accomplished musician Petr Šporcl and gifted choreographer Michal Záhora, music is the fixed point in space, the source of inspiration and a guide to the senses. The project is directed by Jan Komárek, creator of movement and dance based projects.
The music chosen by the director is emotionally highly charged. We enter the space of the imagination through Bach's Prelude in C major, moving to the lyrical Sonata for Violoncello of Gyorgy Ligeti, which leads us into the enigmatic world of the music of two contemporary composers, Ondrej Štochl (Tetralog) and Petr Hejný (Metalsonata).
