Return to the Strange Land

One last masterpiece for his lifelong muse.

Renowned choreographer Jiří Kylián’s craft has always reflected his own life. His final choreography made for his lifelong love and collaborator, Sabine Kupferberg, is a deeply personal performance that celebrates love, creation, and the ephemeral nature of life. Set against the raw, windswept beauty of the Dutch island of Terschelling, the shifting light and landscape mirror the fragile boundary between life and its end. Blending movement and memory with a subtle sense of the tragicomic, the film becomes an intimate meditation on longing, love and the fleeting nature of existence.

 

Screening Note:  This film is preceded by the short film, Flashes in the Realm of Caves, (11 mins).
