Subtitles: Length: 69 mins     The story of the moon princess who descends to earth and is cared for by the family of a bamboo cutter is one of Japan's oldest fairy tales. Her luminous beauty is meant to spread peace and happiness, but instead the rivalry her heavenly presence provokes results in war. Jiri Kylian, artistic director of the Nederlands Dans Theater and one of Europe's most highly acclaimed choreographers, was inspired by Maki Ishii's musical composition of Kaguyahime. Using Ishii's music combining Western and Eastern sound elements, Kylian focused on the philosophical message behind the Kaguyahimestory and created a highly charged performance in which dance, music and theatrical imagery have equal importance.
