This is so moving. It is impossible to not have an emotional response to it. It is very absorbing and mesmerizing...! Powerful performance from both Sylvie and Niklas. Amazing work.
I know little about modern dance other than I rarely like it. It seems high risk - playing out in the same space/ time stuff as us. The artistry, courage and trust has to occupy every second, every inch, every night, to work. A single flaw in one can splinter the illusion into pantomime and running around to music. But, when it works, like here, it comes closest of all artforms to revealing the essence of the human soul. Thank you, ValeBjork, for posting this overwhelming work.
I loved it!! :) I do definitely think you have to understand dance to watch this..It's beautiful, poetic, and I enjoyed every second of watching it! :) But if I showed it to my brother for instance who plays baseball I could see him saying WTF...lol :)
Thank you for posting.I only have a short excerpt from this dance which I recorded off of The South Bank Show in the '90's.They did a program about Sylvie Guillem.I wish it was available on dvd,as my copy is quite poor.
Dance as a complete language; it's own voice, it's own consonants, it's own parables. Someone once said music can say what words can't, that is why it's almost inhuman. And dance can make you live those things which music says.
Well that was interesting; awesome work, the man looking like a younger Andy Warhol added to the mystery for me. He's quite flexible! I'd like to see more of his dance work.
There is something about this that transcends time and emotion ... poetry, vision, dance, life, all wrapped up together in a breathless, selfless act of art.
i keep watching this. day after day. it speaks to me so amazingly. a young male dancer myself. this man inspires me greatly. i want to know more about him but find nothing. what else has Niklas Ek performed in
Certianly, this is too abstract for my small, feeble, teenage mind to grasp.The dancing was definitely brilliant but the small tid bits wear the camera would go crazy an repeat a section of someone shaking or something, I was confused... Or am I supposed to feel confused?? Curse you, art!

A fine line between insanity and genius indeed. Love it.
Very nicely put! I find Mats Ek is the Lars Van Trier of dance

Genius !!!
SYLVIE GUILLEM + NIKLAS EK
= perfection.
i like how everything is so artistic and thought out-- the lighting, the music, the camera work, and of course the dancing.

Age creeps upon a man... when he moves like this he retains and expresses so much of his life force.

I do definitely think you have to understand ART to watch this
i'm only a fan of classical ballet, can anyone tell me what of this dance affect you most?
aaahhh 6:12 makes me drool
The only one I know is Spiegel im Spiegel (mirror in a mirror) in Part 3
Actually, pretty characteristic of Ek's work. Of course its ballet. It all doesn't have to look like Swan Lake or Manon.
Can anyone tell me what this music is? please... its for a dance project and i cant find it anywhere.... thanks x
does anybody know what is the name of this music, i know is arvo part, but which track?
is that dr evil
He reminds me of Merce Cunningham, except more polished
Music by whom? is the same with the Papaiwannou's movie ''2''
