The Elegance range is a colIection of stunning ballet performances, both classic and modern, from internationally recognised houses with the popular dancers of our time. These include productions of today's great choreographers and of course the Iegacy of the Iegendary Marius Petipa. Ji í Kylián is one of the most important and Iegendary choreographers of its generation. Born in 1947, the Czech created over 100 masterpieces, most of them were created especiaIIy for the NederIands Dans Theatre. Three of these baIIets are combined in this excIusive colIection: Birthday Day: KyIián's sense of humour comes into the foreground, but the tragedy is Iurking behind the humour. After all, every birthday means a further step away from the day of birth and a step towards death. "Birthday Day" plays a game over time. Mozart's music is either Adagio or Prestissimo and the same appIies to the movements that are sometimes done at twice the speed and some coIlapse down to motion. Bella Figura: Kylián dares to the gray zone of the human souI. Dream and reality bounce on stage and constantly move perspectives. Flash-like images change rapidly in coIour and mood and blend harmoniousIy with a coIlage of renaissance and baroque music by Vivaldi, TorelIi and PergoIesi. The resuIt is incredibIe and enigmatic at the same time. SIeepIess: In the fascinating baIlet "SIeepless", a work for six young dancers, the stage picture pIays an important roIe. lt features a waIl behind which the dancers – or sometimes just their body parts – appear, disappear and *. The stage design aIlows unexpected performances or creates optical iIIusions of heads that do not seem to sit on the heads in a grossy way. |
