1. Falling Angels by Jiří Kylián
Duration: 15 minutes
Falling Angels is a powerful contemporary ballet choreographed by Jiří Kylián for eight female dancers, set to Steve Reich’s Drumming, Part I. The work explores the tension between control and freedom, discipline and individuality, conveyed through precise and synchronized movements. With minimalist staging and music, the sharp rhythmic patterns of the dancers contrast with moments of personal expression, representing the internal struggle between conformity and self-liberation.

It explores the invisible ties that pull us close, and the distances that stretch us apart — traces of tradition floating into space, vibration, and silence. Bodies shift between intimacy and solitude, echoing a rhythm that feels both ancient and newly born.
Movement turns, fractures, and reforms, like a compass spinning between origin and elsewhere.
Spirals dissolve into infinity, as memory and presence intertwine beyond reach — Radian40° is a quiet storm rooted in place.
