Watching her dance, I see LIFE with all of its aspects: struggles, love, relationsship, solitude, angers... The dance is so beautiful, so emotional...Thanks so much for posting.
My ex showed me this video. We were both 21 years old at the time. I was instantly touched by what I was seeing. I snuck a glance at his face as he watched on his own. His facial expression was so beautiful. That was the moment I fell in love with him. To this day 9 years later when I watch this I still tear up thinking about him. This woman is heartbroken and alone. Corroded by pain and loss. Her movements show all of that and so much more. Her mannerisms are the visual representation of sadness and despair. It's so beautiful and haunting. The moment he comes back dancing with her is cathartic and beautiful.
es impresionante la cantidad de emociones que es capaz de expresar el cuerpo humano sin proninciar ni un solo sonido. qué grande. eso es ARTE. gracias.
I saw this video three years ago and I really didn't liked it, I think mainly because deep down, I did not understand. But time passed and I grew as an artist and as a human being and the way I see the world change ... and luckily I saw this piece again, and this time, I moved from the depths of my soul. Sylvie is one of the most enlightened artists out there, there's magic in each of their movements.
I wish that one day, I would touch my audience as the way she touches my heart. Sometimes, there is no need for fancy costumes, for magnificant stage, or all that glitters... to make me cry! thank you, Sylvie!
My favorite too. I can't believe there are critics that oppose her for leaving traditional ballet. If they had a real eye for beauty they would appreciate variety in art. Everyone can't be doing dying swan. She did her part for them; the contemporary ballet is her special gift to the world.
"Wet Woman" me estremece... "Wet Woman" makes me tremble... pero "Smoke" simplemente me hace llorar sin saberlo... but "Smoke" simply makes me cry without noticing why... ¡Es simplemente magistral!... It is simply magistral!
Cette fille est un pur génie, il n'y en a pas beaucoup et ça fait du bien .... elle apporte une autre dimension à toute chorégraphie, il y a elle et les autres ....
Absolute perfection. Sublime beauty. I've never been so moved by a dance(r). She is breathtaking, and the choreography/dramaturgy is just fantastic. Thank you for posting this one...
@DancerWithTheBadKnee -- same here. I think it's the music as much as the choreography as much as the genius of the performers. Crikey, Sylvie Guillem is magical!
I only found this through my dance course... and oh my god... wow... what an amazing dance. with fantastic dancers. the precision and beauty of it is just incredible.
Me encanta. Resulta fascinador como se puede ser libre con el movimiento...me hace sentir en otra esfera, como en un mundo sin problemas, como si volviese a ser niño...me ha encantado!
@0Lollipop0100 I don't know why smoke, but to me it represents the ephemeral transcience of life, love, death, and everything inbetween ... the weightlessness of time, the wisps of inspiration that form us, the subtle swirling ecstasy of being alive and knowing it can't last.

This may well be the most beautiful dance I have ever seen. She is enchanting and haunting at the same time. Incredible.

She is my favorite dancer...amazing, her movements are so perfect, so coordinated, and her expressions so vivid, just perfect!

i am out of words..it all makes sence. wanna watch it over again.
Utterly sublime. Typically for Ek, funny and so moving at the same time.
la musique, la chorégraphie et l'interprète sont ...bouleversants
sublime-a language that has no dialogue...
she's the most amazing dancer I've ever seen. A true godess.
who knew, that someone could be so gifted both in body and expression.... There others too fo course, but its so damn rare...
EXCELLENT...what a pleasure to watch. Thank you *X*

@madisonave64 I think it's out of print. I've seen it for sale on VHS on ebay.
They really should release this whole series on DVD. Astounding!!!
This is magnificent. Poor and rich, real and abstract, "vulgar" and meaningful. I will stop here. I could not keep my senses away.
A chacun de comprendre, contemporain, impressionnant.
Mats Ek - Sylvie Guillem - Arvo Pärt = magic
Se magnific!!!
oh oh oh ohohhhhhhhwow.
Splendida!
bellizimoooooooooooooooo
It's Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt

Por lo que entiendo esta reviviendo las experiencias que tuvo con su anterior amor con melancolia... Pero wtf
This Arvo Part piece is in total OVERKILL. It's way over used in dance. It's easy and emotional. Try John Cage or Bartok then call me.,
