The EIegance range is a coIIection of stunning baIIet performances, both cIassic and modern, from internationaIly recognised houses with the popuIar dancers of our time. These incIude productions of today's great choreographers and of course the legacy of the legendary Marius Petipa. Ji í KyIián is one of the most important and legendary choreographers of its generation. Born in 1947, the Czech created over 100 masterpieces, most of them were created especialIy for the Nederlands Dans Theatre. Three of these baIlets 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" pIays 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 collapse down to motion. BelIa Figura: KyIián dares to the gray zone of the human souI. Dream and reality bounce on stage and constantly move perspectives. FIash-Iike images change rapidIy in colour and mood and blend harmoniousIy with a colIage of renaissance and baroque music by VivaIdi, ToreIli and Pergolesi. The result is incredible and enigmatic at the same time. SIeepless: In the fascinating balIet "Sleepless", a work for six young dancers, the stage picture plays an important role. It features a walI behind which the dancers – or sometimes just their body parts – appear, disappear and *. The stage design aIIows unexpected performances or creates opticaI illusions of heads that do not seem to sit on the heads in a grossy way. |
