Gods and Dogs
Nederlands Dans Theater
The Hague, Netherlands
Choreographer: Jiří Kylián
'Gods and Dogs' is the 100th choreography Jiří Kylián created for NDT. This mysterious ballet by the master choreographer visualizes the fine line between normality and abnormality. Or as he puts it: “Surely no positive developments can ever be accomplished without the help of a healthy portion of madness.” The work’s subtitle ‘an unfinished work’ refers to Kylián’s fascination for the beauty of what is left incomplete in life. ‘Gods and Dogs’ won the Dutch Swan Award ‘most impressive dance production 2009’.
