"Whenever we decide to celebrate a jubilee, we inevitably turn our eyes to the past. We look back in order to critically evaluate our legacy, contemplating about what was, what was not, what could have been, or what should never happen. This could be a sentimental journey – and often it is – but not in our case, because we were blessed with a very diverse, sometimes very turbulent and dramatic past.
We look back at a colourful prisma, a rich spectrum – a rainbow consisting of sun and rain.
Today, there is no time for evaluation of what we have achieved. Today we want to celebrate and leave the evaluation to the future."
– Jiří Kylián
