On the occasion of Jiří Kylián’s 75th birthday, we celebrate this inspired maker with an evening of three significant works that speak to his artistic vision over time. Tar and Feathers (2006), Gods and Dogs (2008), and Bella Figura (1995) were originally created for Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) and are exemplary of Kylián’s extraordinary craft and contribution to dance and the development of NDT.

Gods and Dogs (2008) was originally created for NDT 2 and marked Jiří Kylián’s 75th choreography. This mysterious work visualizes the fine line between normality and insanity. Or as Kylián puts it: “Surely no positive developments can ever be accomplished without the help of a healthy portion of madness.” Gods and Dogs is called ‘an unfinished work’, referring to Kylián’s fascination for the beauty of what is left incomplete in life. The work won the Dutch Zwaan Award for ‘Most Impressive Dance Production’ in 2008.
