JIŘÍ KYLIÁN – FORGOTTEN MEMORIES

JIŘÍ KYLIÁN – FORGOTTEN MEMORIES

Director: Don Kent, Christian Dumais-Lvowski
DVD Specials: Additional unreleased Ballet performance - Wings of Wax Nederlands Dans Theater, choreography by Jiří Kylián (24 mins)

Jiří Kylián is a living legend. He is the creator of more than a hundred works, several of which form part of the repertories of some of the greatest dance centres in the world. Due to the choreographer’s extreme reluctance to engage in a documentary, this film is exceptional. For the first time one can have a real close look at Kylián’s life, his way of thinking and at his most significant creations. The fi lm was shot in Den Haag, Prague, Monte-Carlo and Paris.

"Ein Glücksfall, dass der eher interviewscheue Künstler in diesem Filmporträt selbst über die Stationen seiner Karriere redet. Zutiefst ansprechend." Malve Gradinger, Crescendo, Februar/März 2012
