FORGOTTEN LAND
Kylián, in comparison to Britten, sees Sinfonia da Requiem as a work of more personal character than a political one - for it is always people who determine the political scene. It’s always people and nature who turn the wheel of evolution a little further.
East Anglia, a coastline of England slowly submerging under the sea, is the birthplace of Benjamin Britten. The image of land taken over by the sea - together with a painting by Edvard Munch - became the primary inspiration for the choreography of Forgotten Land: land - the basis and centre of human existence, is in itself always subject to the eternal metamorphosis and mutation, land, from ancient times bearing the imprints of generations, lands within the memories of human beings, that had to be forgotten because of political struggle, lands destroyed by nature or human negligence, wishful lands which have only emerged in our dreams, lands of promise and illusion.
FALLING ANGELS
For Jiří Kylián, the fascinating aspect of Reich's composition lies in its rhythmical structure - especially in the stylistic device called phasing. It creates a floating underground where the choreography is free to develop independently.
Whereas Kylián customarily considers music as the primary source for his choreographies - meaning that he sets his work on a (existing) musical structure - with Drumming he felt challenged to give unabridged priority to the dance.
The result became an exciting and head-on flight of eight female dancers: Falling Angels - 'a piece about our profession' as the choreographer likes to comment on it.
SECHS TÄNZE
Two centuries separate us from the time, Mozart wrote his German Dances. A historical period shaped considerably by wars, revolutions, and all sorts of social upheavals. With this in mind I found it impossible to simply create different dance numbers reflecting merely the humor and musical brilliance of the composer. Instead, I have set six seemingly non-sensical acts, which obviously ignore their surroundings. They are dwarfed in face of the ever present troubled world, which most of us for some unspecified reason carry in our souls.
Although the entertaining quality of Mozart’s Sechs Tänze enjoys great general popularity, it shouldn’t only be regarded as a burlesqué. Its humor ought to serve as a vehicle to point towards our relative values. Mozart’s ability to react upon difficult circumstances with a self-preserving outburst of nonsensical poetry is well known. A fragment of a letter to his
cousin is the finest example of this.
