Dancing  Dutch  brings together four choreographers who, despite their different origins, are all rooted in our country and celebrated their first major successes here. For the first time, the National Ballet will dance a creation by Jiří Kylián , the choreographer who gave Nederlands Dans Theater international success for more than thirty years. In addition, this program includes a masterpiece by the Netherlands' most famous choreographer, Hans van Manen , and premiere ballets by Associate Artist David Dawson and Young Creative Associate Milena Sidorova .

Dancing Dutch

National Opera & Ballet

PNB’s season-opener is jam-packed with whimsy, artistry, and drama. Built on a foundation of music from Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert, this triple-bill looks at the world of dance through the unique perspectives of Jiri Kylian and Alexander Ekman.

Petite Mort

Seattle Center

Jiří Kylián created this ballet for the second centenary of Mozart’s death. For his work he chose the slow parts of two of Mozart’s most beautiful and popular piano concertos. The choreography includes six men, six women and six foils. The foils have the function to be actual dance partners, and, at times, seem more unruly and obstinate than a partner of flesh and blood. They visualize a symbolism, which is more present than a story line. Aggression, sexuality, energy, silence, cultivated senselessness and vulnerability — they all play a significant part.
