'CLICK-pause-SILENCE' deals with encounter and departure. This austerely modern ballet takes its cues from the compositions by Dirk Haubrich, who has become a regular collaborator of Kylián. The piece shows three men and one woman dancing alone or together, quick or slow, following the current of the music or going against it. Kylián created the piece for dancer Elke Schepers, as she was about to leave the company. Wondering how you can preserve your memories of loved ones and dear encounters, Kylián invented the analogy of the photograph: there is a click, a pause, and then…

“People come, stay and go... sometimes things Click – the Pause tells us about the
passing time – the Silence speaks.” – Jiří Kylián
