Sinfonietta
Czech-born Kylian was inspired by the beautiful music of his compatriot Janacek to create this fluid, spacious, romantic ballet which has become a milestone in contemporary choreography. The forceful fanfares of Janacek's music are matched by a ceaselessly energetic and exuberant display of movement, creating an image which carries through the composer's intention of evoking the spirit of the "modern, free Czech."
