Program Note: Jiří Kylián created "Indigo Rose" in 1998 to commemorate the 20th anniversary year of NDT 2. After an absence from choreographing for junior compny and feeling compelled to return to the youthful qualities of its members, he created a dance celebrating the transient nature of youth and human relationships. "Indigo Rose" embodies an unattainable ideal. Kylián summons the dancers to seek the idyllic with fervor while shrewdly understanding perfection is impossible to achieve.

Jiří Kylián (born Prague, 1947) began his dance career at Stuttgarter Ballet and made his debut as a guest choreographer for Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) in 1973. His successful first dance for NDT, "Viewers," was followed by a series of fifty works created for NDT.

In 1978 Kylián made his international breakthrough with "Sinfonietta," set to music by his friend Leoš Janáček and created specifically for the Spoleto Festival in the United States. In that same year Jiří Kylián was appointed artistic director of NDT, a post that he held for 25 years and during which he created many of his most renowned works including: "Dream Dances" (1997), "De Kinderspelen" (1999), "Piccolo Mondo" (1999), "Symfonie in D" (2002), "Sechs Tänze" (2004), "Stamping Ground" (2006), "Evening Songs" (2006), "Un Ballo" (2009) and "Indigo Rose" (2011).

Kylián has received various awards, including the Edinburgh Festival Critics Award (1996, 1997) and the Joost van den Vondel Award (1997). In 1995 he was made an Officer of the Order of Orange Nassau. In June 2008, during the 6th International Festival of Contemporary Dance at the Venice Biennale, he received the prestigious 'Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement'. To honor him, he received the 'Kylian Fund for Innovative Cooperation' at his farewell of the Nederlands Dans Theater in 2009. In 2011 he created Anonymous, a dance and video installation for the opening of the Cadance Festival in 2011, Korzo Theater, The Hague, Holland. The Czech Ministry of Culture has recognized Jiří Kylián with the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance and theatre.
