The great choreographer Jiří Kylián asked us to film his ballet created for the dancers of NDT 3. The performance depicts how, between our Birth-Day and our Death-Day, we spend much of our time and energy on creation, love, desire and confusion, often making fools of ourselves in the process. For this production, Jiří Kylián uses music by Mozart. This composer is the perfect example of someone whose lifetime was painfully short. Yet both Mozart and Kylián describe life in all its richness, imagination, comedy and madness.
