One-act ballet “Falling Angels”
Music – Steve Reich
Choreography – Jiří Kylián
Rehearsal Director – Stefan Żeromski
One of the most renowned works by Czech choreographer Jiří Kylián, featured in the “Black & White Ballets” programme, which has been performed on the world’s leading stages for more than 30 years. Prestigious theatres compete for the opportunity to include Kylián’s works in their repertoires, while every dancer dreams of performing his choreography at least once.
The symbiosis of Jiří Kylian’s choreography and Stephen Reich’s drum composition resulted in a delightful flight of eight ballerinas. The choreographer himself says the following words about his ballet: “Falling Angels is a ballet about our profession.” It is worth noting that his work is distinguished by extraordinary musicality, monochrome aesthetics, and world-class level of performance. Kylian’s ballet is a whirlwind of emotions: it gives shivers from sensuality and amazing plasticity.
