Choreography and Staging by Jiri Kylian
The Netherlands Dance Theater is one of Europe's most exciting ballet companies with many of its successes due to its choreographer and artistic director, Jiri Kylian, whom critics have hailed as a choreographic genius. This prize-winning recording of Kylian's version of Maurice Ravel's L'Enfant Et Les Sortileges (The Bewitched Child) includes a libretto by Colette, who envisioned the work as a remarkable combination of poetry, drama and ballet. This magical, lyrical performance tells the story of a boy whose temper brings to life his surroundings, transforming inanimate objects, pets and all the fantastic characters from his books.
