Jiri Kylian is a living legend. He is the creator of more than a hundred works, several of which form part of the repertories of some of the greatest dance centres in the world. Due to the choreographer's extreme reluctance to engage in a documentary, this film is exceptional. Despite his international fame, for a long time there has not been a single documentary film devoted to Kylián's life and work. Born in 1947, the Czech created more than 100 works, 76 of which were created especially for the Nederlands Dans Theater. Directors Don Kent and Christian Dumais-Lvowski succeeded for the first time in portraying the usually reserved artist. Important places of his moved career such as The Hague, Prague, Monte-Carlo or Paris play a major role as well as numerous excerpts of his works.
