A ballet by Jiri Kylian
Music by Maurice Ravel
Performed by members of the Netherlands Dance Theatre L 'Enfant et les sortilèges is the magical world of childhood evoked by Ravel's setting of a fantasy by Colette. 'The Bewitched
Child' is usually performed as a one-act opera. Kylian keeps the score and the sung lyrics but sets the whole action free by using dancers rather than singers. This magical production shows why Kylian has established himself as one of the greatest creators of dance of this generation.
