SUMMARY:Gods and Dogs
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The confrontation of the individual with reality and their atte
 mpts to overcome or avoid difficulties are key themes in Jiří Kylián's 
 work. Gods and Dogs (2008) explores this thought process by reflecting on 
 the way we dress and the underlying motives that lead us to prefer one gar
 ment over another: «We spend our whole lives wearing clothes like masks a
 nd changing and altering them depending on the circumstances and how other
 s see us.» Jiří Kylián shares the fascination he feels for the behavio
 r of the individual through dance\, staging the human attempt to find thei
 r place in a society that is difficult to describe clearly. Canadian dance
 r Crystal Pite was a member of the Ballet British Columbia and the Frankfu
 rt Ballet under the direction of William Forsythe. She made her debut as a
  choreographer in 1990 with the Ballet BC. Since then\, she has developed 
 more than fifty dance pieces for the Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris\, the R
 oyal Ballet\, the Nederlands Dans Theater\, the Cullberg Ballet and Ballet
  Frankfurt\, among others. Her exhilarating\, unconventional work has won 
 numerous international awards. Angels’ Atlas was created by Crystal Pite
  for the National Ballet of Canada in 2020. It unfolds in front of a const
 antly changing light installation – a vast\, unrecognisable landscape of
  light and matter. Against this fantastical backdrop\, dancing bodies beco
 me a sign of human transience as well as vitality.
