RESONANCE

“What do we remember? What do we want to forget?” - Jiří Kylián

Kylián’s magnificent farewell piece Mémoires d’Oubliettes (2009), was the last work he created for NDT 1. With nostalgic sounds and whispers, this compelling work references Kylián’s signature style and poetic language, full of elusive emotions. It explores the nature of memory—what is forgotten, what remains, and how time influences our perception of reality. Performing this cherished piece again after all these years is a meaningful moment for us as a company.
It is a gift we hope you’ll enjoy as much as we will.

In The Statement (2016), associate choreographer Crystal Pite’s gripping, satirical, and chilling boardroom drama comes to life once again. The dancers, engulfed in their own sense of righteousness, fight over control and their subjective ideas of ‘the truth’. With striking gestures and razor-sharp expressions, the dancers will keep you on the edge of your seat. The Statement is a timely and urgent reminder of what goes on behind closed doors in the halls of power.

When seeing Woke up Blind (2016), it’s almost impossible not to be swept away by Jeff Buckley’s soulful voice and the intricate, emotionally charged movement of associate choreographer Marco Goecke. With brilliant composition, our dancers are drawn into an acoustic world, surrendering themselves to the unknown like young lovers. Urgent vibrations ripple through their bodies, capturing a raw tension and vulnerability, while Buckley’s guitar licks act as an accelerating heartbeat. Goecke’s Woke up Blind is a timeless work that unveils the essence of our emotions.
