Silent cries
Characteristically, Kylián here uses an orchestral work by Debussy dominated by the sounds of flutes and harp.
In an exceptionally moving solo by Sabine Kupferberg – half obscured and seemingly trapped behind a dirt-smeared pane of glass – Kylián and the dancer together went in search of the inner state in their piece Silent Cries, first performed at NDT in 1986. Characteristically, Kylián here uses an orchestral work by Debussy dominated by the sounds of flutes and harp « Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, 1894), which had by 1912 already ignited intense interest in the dance world as a result of the furore caused by Vaslav Nijinsky’s original choreography entitled L’après-midi d’un faune.
