'Sweet Dreams' looks more like the result of a nightmare, than that of a peaceful dream. But those that have seen this “masterpiece with the apples” will never forget it. In this ballet Jiří Kylián takes an ironic look at the complex world of the human sub-conscience. Surrealistic, often erotic and impressive, from beginning to end. Kylián was inspired by the dance company Laterna Magika from Prague, the works of Franz Kafka, and the music of Anton Webern.
