“By all standards, it was a remarkable production, an instant triumph that will surely have a huge impact in other venues if international touring hopes are fulfilled. Every aspects of Kylian le grand was crammed with stimulating ideas executed with love and reverence.” (Dance International)
Born in Prague in 1947, Jirí Kylián is among the most brilliant choreographers of his generation. As artistic director of the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) from 1975 to 1999, Kylián built bridges between styles, ages and traditions. Through an impressive corpus of ballets—over 90, including 72 for the NDT—Kylián has continually sought “the truth.” His favourite themes include the couple, war, his homeland, and Japanese and native cultures. His choreographies are represented in the repertoires of over eighty dance companies. “Although each of my ballets alludes to sexuality and, to some extent, death, they are more concerned with the efforts of human beings to defend freedom in a violent world.” — Jirí Kylián. Duration: to be determinate To be created in November 2008. Will include at least the following pieces signed by Jirí Kylián: Petite mort (duet by Bissonnette / Radacovsky), Un Ballo (group piece), Black bird and many others by Kylián and/or others choreographers in link with the NDT.

Anik Bissonnette and Mário Radacovsky, the director of Ballet at the Slovak National Theatre (BSNT) and former dancer of the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), are the chief architects of this splendid tribute to Jirí Kylián. A show-stopper at the 2006 Festival des Arts in Saint-Sauveur, the show is reborn here in a new version. A selection of solos, duets, trios and ensemble pieces will be performed by dancers of the highest rank: Anik Bissonnette and Mário Radacovsky, along with the dancers of BSNT and NDT. Punctuated by excerpts from an interview with the master filmed in the Netherlands, Kylián le grand is an encounter with a legendary artist. Unmissable.
