Fallen Angels in Zlín

Kylian's choreography is fascinated by Reich's minimalism, which has led the phasing method to the very limit of humanly technical possibilities. Steve Reich's music creates a scene from which choreography can grow completely independently and emphasize the dance as such.

"Falling Angels is a choreography for eight women, which was conceived as a rather lightweight tribute to female dancers. From the beginning to the end of the song, none of the eight dancers leaves the stage. Their inter-interdependence and, at the same time, their desire to break out of it are evident throughout the composition.

Falling Angels tells a story of dancers and the art of interpretation, of elegance, anxiety, vulnerability, inferiority complexes and humor. It is a symbol of the conflict between belonging and independence, the dilemma that accompanies each of us from cradle to grave. "

Jiří Kylián, 2008

Choreography Falling Angels is a part of the joint performance TWO WORLD / ONE WORLD in Ostrava, whose uniqueness lies in the combination of the world-renowned creators of Kylian, Ohar Naharina and Itzika Galili who, in their composite evening, each show their own and unrepeatable ways of developing the contemporary ballet.
