- Synopsis:
The series of plotless dance pieces titled Black and White offers six examples of the rich inventive gifts of Kylián's choreographic imagination. They not only span a remarkable spectrum of styles and moods, from metaphysics through black humour to a sensual, even voluptuous corporeality; they also explicitly indicate that the master of neo-classical dance also uses the more extreme techniques of contemporary Modern Dance as a projection screen for his existential questions. The selection of the six programmes, whose marked differences are still put together in a seamless unity, shows what Kylián can set in motion with only twenty dancers and an intelligent choice of music. Kylián's unusual technique always achieves a functioning connection between classical economy and a release of energy equally sudden and huge. - Studio:
