Due to the celebration of 150 years of the Dutch constitution on 5 May, choreographer Jiri Kylian received a commission from Minister Dijkstal of the Interior for a dance performance, based on article 1: "All who are in the Netherlands will be treated equally in the same cases. Discrimination on the grounds of religion. , beliefs, political affiliation, race, gender or on any other grounds are not
… allowed. " The result, "One of a kind", will be offered on CD this week. The music consists of numerous sound phenomena proposed by Kylian (madrigals by Gesualdo, singing Tibetan monks, vocal games by Eskimos, etc.) that were combined into one by Brett Dean. During the performance, a dancer disconnects from the audience and mingles with the scenes on stage. She represents collective freedom. At the end she rejoins the audience, making her part of all of us again. The cello solos in this production were played by Pieter Wispelwey. (HJ) _more
