Black and White Ballets

Nederlands Dans Theater: the name has long stood for innovative dance theater on the cutting edge. But when Czech choreographer Jiří Kylián works with the ballet, something completely new is created. For Kylián combines his experience in neoclassical dance with the extreme techniques of modern dance. In six abstract - one might even say surreal - pieces of the ballet sequence entitled "Black and White", the Nederlands Dans Theater presents a "projection screen" for the existential questions of mankind.

Superb! While this ballet was obviously performed on a stage, it is not just a documentation of a theater production, but a film. The lighting, camera work, closeup and long shots, music and dancing are filmmatic. I only rarely give a film a rating of 10,. Black and White deserve i!
