Sylvie Guillem’s dance recital is undoubtedly the cultural event of the summer; two brand-new works choreographed especially for her by Mats Ek and William Forsythe, and Jiří Kylián’s 27′52” – featuring two dancers handpicked by him. Four dance artists who need no introduction, since they have all left an indelible mark on the dance scene of our times. On July 19 and 20, 2011 at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

All four began their careers in the classical ballet, which all four also managed to put in a contemporary context. Sylvie broke the boundaries of classical dance to blaze new trails in the contemporary idiom. This time, she takes on the modernist challenges of a perceptive post-classicist, a neo-classicist with a love for the cinema, and a choreographer who uses movement to explore the soul.
