Timeless Contemporary // Trois Gnossiennes, Whirling, Petite Mort, Six Dances

The Timeless Contemporary ballet show is composed of works by choreographers Hans van Manen from the Netherlands, András Lukács from Hungary and Jiří Kylián from the Czechia, where the dancers’ technical virtuosity intertwines with the music of Erik Satie, Philip Glass and Mozart. Contemporary yet classical, chamber-like yet varied and breathtaking – such is the programme awaiting those who come to see the four productions: Trois Gnossiennes, Whirling, Petite Mort, and Six Dances. The pieces are typically plotless, yet many aspects of life appear within them, such as the dynamics of human relationships – sometimes in a more serious, sometimes in a more humorous form.
