This intimate portrait follows Kylian as he travels to Prague for the first time since the change of government and to rehearsals in Stuttgart, where he began his career as a dancer with John Cranko and choreographed his first ballet. There is also film of the Nederlands Dans Theater performing at a Gala Evening in Paris in the presence of Queen Beatrix and François Mitterrand, and an official visit to the company by former Czech premier, Vaclav Havel. Many extracts from Kylian ballets are included, illustrating the breadth and diversity of his work to date as well as fascinating archive film and interviews with colleagues. Ballets choreographed by Jiri Kylian are passionate, rhapsodic, even tempestuous. The New York Times""

A beautiful and moving portrait
At long last, a beautiful portrait of one of the most creative and talented choreographers, which gives a respectful and non-intrusive insight into his life - it is particularly moving to hear about his burgeoning talent by his immensely proud mother - and offers a particular balanced selection of some of his best creations. Jiri Kylian also speaks candidly alongside his wife about the specific difficulties in combining the specific demands of his creative work with his personal life. A very well-judged and sensitive introduction.
