Nicadi

Inspired by the first video games of the 1980s, Nicadi brings the hero’s journey to life as a ballet. Nicadi, a superhero, must retrieve the *Ball of Abundance* stolen by the villain Zorgan. Along the way, he overcomes obstacles and faces fierce battles.

In the bamboo forest, he encounters Princess Genéa, who initially tries to kill him but falls in love with his bravery. She joins him on his quest. Together, they infiltrate Zorgan’s dungeon, where a final battle reveals that Zorgan is actually Arkadi, Nicadi’s long-lost brother.

Victory is celebrated as balance is restored, and Nicadi completes his mission. This ballet, inspired by early video games, blends nostalgic adventure with dynamic movement, creating a thrilling, timeless tale.
