BELLA FIGURA | Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Marcello, Torelli, Foss | Nederlands Dans Theater I: Jiří Kylián

Composer: Lukas Foss, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Alessandro Marcello Director: Hans Hulscher Choreographer: Jiří Kylián Orchestra/Chorus/Ballet: Nederlands Dans Theater I Subscribe to our channel:    / @monardachannel   Like much of Jiří Kylian’s highly inventive work, this abstract piece is introspective and tantalisingly ambiguous. Most intriguing are the long crimson skirts that bare-chested dancers, both male and female, wear at times. Exquisitely beautiful, the dance flows as if it inhabits the music – a mellifluous collage of Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Marcello, Torelli and Lukas Foss. In this studio recording featuring the Nederlands Dans Theater, the dance space is strikingly defined by light and darkness, with black drapes used to frame the dancers in unusual ways. A journey through time, fantasy and dreams with Jiří Kylian and hier Nederlands Dans Theater. This studio production was recorded 2 years after the world premiere.
