" 'Dazzling’ doesn’t do justice to the program Boston Ballet performed last night.” —The Boston Globe raved when Kylián’s works were performed in 2005.
“He’s an absolute master of his craft. He’s a genius. I feel that any dancer who has the chance to dance a Kylián work is so blessed. To have five of them in one night is fabulous.” – Mikko Nissinen, Artistic Director, Boston Ballet
The work of Jiří Kylián, one of Europe’s most fascinating and celebrated choreographers, returns to Boston Ballet with his Black and White program. Falling Angels, a mesmerizing study in motion and minimalism, and Sarabande, a powerful display for six men, gave audiences a glimpse of Kylián’s unique and potent vision when they were presented here in 2005. Playing with space, shape and contrast, Kylián’s work will challenge, enlighten and move you. Boston Ballet is the first company outside of Nederlands Dans Theater to perform Kylián’s Black and White series: this program is exclusive to Boston Ballet.
