For this refined, poetic choreography for three couples, master choreographer Jiří Kylián chose music by his fellow countryman Antonín Dvořák. The movements seem, very subtly, to arise from silence and then also subtly dissolve in silence, creating a dreamy atmosphere. It is wonderful how Kylián ‘choreographs’ the dresses of the dancers, almost like a sculptural extension of their bodies. Kylián made Evening Songs in 1987 after the large-scale occasional ballet Joris en de Draak. He felt the need, he says, to return to the simple gesture, to the ideals of his youth and to those things that really matter in this world where intimacy often seems to be lost.
