BELLA FIGURA
"A journey in time – light and space, addressing the ambiguity of aesthetics – performances and dreams. Finding beauty in a grimace – in a knot of the mind – or in a physical contortion. It is like trying to perform a balancing act on the string of our umbilical cord." (Jirí Kylián)

SLEEPLESS
"Moving – and being moved. Motion – and emotion. I have a fundamental interest in movement in space, between objects, and movements of the soul. The nature of moving is such, that if you move towards something, you automatically move away from something else. Are we really clear in our intentions? Are we really sure, that we want to move towards, or away from...?" (Jirí Kylián)

BIRTH-DAY
"Between our Birth-day and our Death-day much time and energy, filled with creation, desire, love and confusion, is spent... and during much of this time we make fools of ourselves. Mozart, whose music I have chosen for this production, is the greatest example of someone whose time between day 'A' and day 'Z' was painfully limited, but who nevertheless has understood life in all its richness, fantasy, clownery and madness." (Jirí Kylián)
