The story of the moon princess who descends to earth and is cared for by the family of a bamboo cutter is one of Japan's oldest fairy tales. Her luminous beauty is meant to spread peace and happiness, but instead the rivalry her heavenly presence provokes results in war. Jiri Kylian, artistic director of the Nederlands Dans Theater and one of Europe's most highly acclaimed choreographers, was inspired by Maki Ishii's musical composition of "Kaguyahime." Using Ishii's music combining Western and Eastern sound elements, Kylian focused on the philosophical message behind the Kaguyahime story and created a highly charged performance in which dance, music and theatrical imagery have equal importance.

Great performance

This is by far one of the most impressive piece of work by NDT choregraphed by Jiri Kylian. They made supreme work on combining all area : dance, music, staging, lighting. The performance seems to have been recorded a little while ago (not very recent), which I can guess from less colorful recording, however, due to such style of recording, it can make you to see more of the dance. The dancers on this one are the best ones from NDT, and highly recommend this work. Really happy to own this work.

Amazing dancing

This is a very artistic and incredibly danced work by Jiri Kylian. It is slow, like Kabuki or Noh theatre from Japan, but oh so worth it. Beautiful design, lighting, and sensitivity to the Japanese art forms. Thank you.
