Venae, a creation for the junior company of the National Theater Brno, Czech Republic. Under the direction of artistic director Mario Radacovsky. Venae is a reflection on the ‘anchors’ of norms and standards with which society often binds and limits our individuality.

Those who strive to be themselves become a kind of deviation from the norm, a rarity. The deep connection between nature and humans is underscored by the music of Ezio Bosso, in particular his 2nd symphony Under the Trees Voices. Just as the roots of trees flow upward to the crowns of life, the veins are the channel of life to our hearts and thus the channel to humanity.

Minor, a duet for two men, was choreographed by Glen Lambrecht at the request of An Van den Broeck. The choreography symbolizes an individual searching for his own value within a dominant society. In Minor premiered on April 10, 2023, at the Handelsbeurs in Ghent.

It was later performed by invitation at the Capitool, also in Ghent, and at the Cultuurhuis in Merelbeke. Minor was also warmly received internationally. It was performed in Asturias, Spain, and during the opening gala of the Moravian State Theater Olomouc in Plumov, Czech Republic.

The choreographic work King's Court moves on the border between history and the present, where desires and social obligations collide. The story is based on the romantic escapades of King James IV, who as a young man balanced his sexual identity with his royal duties. At a time when society is facing a backlash against recent gains in personal freedom, this work reminds us how close we are to repeating history.

In these uncertain times, the choreographer lets movement speak where words fall short. What the voice cannot carry, what speech cannot contain, becomes visible here — because being loud is also vulnerable.
Wojciech Kilar's Piano Concerto echoes the tension between passion and restraint that the court of James IV had to maintain. As music and choreography merge, a time capsule of masked desires unfolds. Is acceptance merely a façade of tolerance, and do we still live under the shadow of archaic beliefs, while history repeats itself?

In my abstract ballet interpretation of Kafka's The Trial, Kafka and Josef K. merge into one being, trapped in a nightmarish system in which logic and identity are slowly eroded. Caught up and swept away in an absurd, ritualistic process, presided over by bureaucratic specters and invisible judges, he moves inexorably toward a symbolic execution. Through the figure of the protagonist, the work reveals the gradual disintegration of the self when confronted with an omnipotent and intangible system—and the inevitable complicity in one's own condemnation.

World premiere November 30, 2018 / Slovak National Ballet, Historical Building, Bratislava, Slovakia.

Charisma, caring, empathy, intellect, and leadership—I portray the five fundamental female characteristics through five distinctive movements. The movements are inspired by the music and lyrics of the Beatles. The identical male and female costumes express the universal variability of male and female characteristics.

The long and winding road is a metaphor for the powerful female personality.

Resemblance of Femininity is part of the mixed bill program Beatles Go Baroque for the Slovak National Ballet.

SUPERIOR DE DANZA “MARÍA DE ÁVILA”, Madrid, Spain.

Inspired by the hauntingly beautiful music of Max Richter, Late and Soon explores the bittersweet moment when love and loss become inseparable. Through an intimate duet, two people are drawn together by a deep emotional bond, yet confronted with the realization that one of them must leave, for the sake of the other’s future.

Caught between holding on and letting go, they navigate a journey of tenderness, sacrifice, and acceptance. The work reflects on the courage it takes to step away from someone you love, trusting that your absence may allow them to continue, grow, and truly live.

Late and Soon is a meditation on timing, devotion, and the painful beauty of choosing another person's happiness over your own.

World première on June 21st 2026, Brussels City Ballet, Brussels, Belgium

Absolute Stillness is an intimate psychological ballet exploring the tension between a restless inner world and the longing for peace. The work follows a woman caught in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, sleeplessness, and self-doubt. The four ensemble dancers embody the different forces within her mind. Intrusive thoughts, fears, distortions, and imagined possibilities, while the male dancer represents stillness itself, a presence that remains elusive until the final moments of the ballet.

The inspiration for this work comes from my own experiences and struggles with the relentless pace of modern life.We live in a world that constantly demands speed, productivity, and immediate results, leaving little space to pause, breathe, or process our experiences. I wanted to explore how this relentless pace can affect our inner lives, transforming invisible psychological struggles into physical, poetic movement.

Set to Movements 3–8 of Pēteris Vasks’ Distant Light, the ballet traces a journey from introspection and fragmentation toward a fragile sense of clarity, acceptance, and inner quiet.

Duration 15 min

"On the minimalist stage, Glen Lambrecht succeeded in portraying the spirit of that era—with all its nobility and elegance—purely through movement. With a sense of tradition, he skillfully wove in a more modern approach, capturing the personal tragedy and inner turmoil of the individual."
