Review   The most tremendous performance I have seen in a theatre for      a year or more came from none of the companies you would expect – not the Kirov Ballet nor the Bolshoi, not New York City Ballet or the Paris Opera         – but from a Czech dancer working at the Hamburg Staatsoper. His name is Jiri Bubenicek and he was taking the title role in Nijinsky, a vastly ambitious creation by the Hamburg Ballet's director John Neumeier.
John Percival, The Independent

He worked on Donna Feuer's documentary: The Work of Utopia.
Danced the leading role "The King" in the DVD production

in John Neumeier´s Illusions - like "Swan Lake"

Peter Schlögl made a documentary film “Die Ballettzwillinge”              about Jiří and  his brother Otto fort TV Arte

In 2006 with the help of the Filmförderung Hamburg, Jiří’s brother Otto made his directing debut in cooperation with Jana Pulkrabek with the shortfilm "Nocturnal Ecstasy", for which he also composed the music. Jiří choreographed, acted and danced in the movie. And made “made of” about it.
