“SILENT CRIES”
In an exceptionally moving solo dance by Sabine Kupferberg -
half obscured and seemingly trapped behind a dirt-smeared pane of glass
-
Choreographer Jirí Kylián and the dancer together went in
search of the inner
state in their piece SILENT CRIES. Although
all its dancers have been classically trained, it is modern dance
rather than
ballet that Nederlands Dans Theater
engages in, at the highest international level.

by Jiří Kylián

is from the feature length documentary of the Competition, “Flying

Pounding Hearts.”
