The Future Memories, An evening with Jiří Kylián, celebrates the renowned choreographer Jiří Kylián's works, who has been creating master pieces since the early seventies, starting at the Stuttgart Ballet and the Noverre Company. Working with John Cranko and Glen Tetley made a tremendous impression on Kylián, which influenced his work later at the Nederlands Dans Theater, creating 74 ballets for the company. Performing his choreographies on the most prominent stages, his works were celebrated worldwide.
The Future Memories consists of three ballets, Kylián's most famous works. Set to baroque music and open flames, the first piece is Bella Figura with elegant movements, in which the focus is on beauty, passion and physical attraction. The second piece Gods and Dogs from 2008 is set to Beethoven's score, which is interrupted by shocking sounds, representing normality and madness, followed by the final piece Symphony of Psalms performed to Stravinsky's powerful score.
