Compositions

As a composer he deals with new forms of music theater (e.g. music and dance theater “Sansara” (2002), “monumentum aquae” (2006)). In addition, the idea of ​​the work cycle plays an important role at Zdralek, for example the five-part project “Terra deserta”.

Awards

For his artistic work, Zdralek received the Bavarian State Prize for the Promotion of Young Artists in 2006 , whereby the laudator emphasized the following: “Zdralek would never ostensibly join any effective fashion trends.
