- Introduction to the Three Ballets by Jiří Kylián [36 minutes]
"The three dances presented here hint as to the wide range of Kylián's work, as well as to his philosophies toward life and art. At the same time, Kylián's distinctive style - acrobatic, abstract, always surprising - runs through all three works. The range of the Nederlands Dans Theater also is on display here. The films are beautifully photographed, and the sound is excellent too. Bella Figura is performed by NDT I, the main ensemble, composed of dancers between the ages of 23 and 42. Birth-day is performed by the NDT III, an ensemble in which all the dancers are 40 or older. Finally, Sleepless is performed by NDT II, whose dancers are 23 or younger. This was my first exposure to Kylián, and now I am a fan. Anyone interested in serious modern dance should check him out. This is beautiful, exciting stuff." (ClassicalNet)
