In my opinion modern dance cannot possibly get any better than this!

I just discovered Sylvie Guillem and I can see why she’s so well liked. This is fabulous.

i usually think of modern ballet has athletic, but sylvie gives it magic

One of my favourites ... phenomenal leg line as ever ...

I don't get tired of watching this.

they have made a few mistakes here, but it's an incredibly technical and physically demanding piece. If you see it from other dancers you realise how good Guillem and Hilaire are.Sylvie said it's a piece when you dance it you are always margining on the edge.

Sylvie is beyond description. She's perfect and mesmerising. I can't take my eyes off her. And she looked like Isabelle Adjani back then.

I was going to say that too. Sylvie is the "diva assoluta" of the ballet world, quite an alien but people tend to focus only on her, whereas Laurent Hillaire is her male equivalent, a remarkable dancer and the combination of those two in this electrifying ballet is just stunning.

That's too much. Plisetskaya, Ulanova, Baryshnikov, Kirkland are a few examples of dancers that one could not say with any certainty that someone is better than them. But Sylvie had very unique gifts, and she is up there when it comes to modern ballet.

it was a new year show on the french television at the end of the 80s,shortly after the ballet was created. i would say 87-89. I remember seeing in live on television , being amazed by it (i was studying ballet at the Conservatoire at the time) and being enraged by the polite applause that followed. i couldn't understand how the audience wasn't giving a standing ovation to this performance. You have to remember that at the time, this technical level was something unseen, nobody had such extensions (they are much more common now). But Sylvie and Laurent made everything look so easy that the audience probably thought that is was indeed easy :)) Pity that this recording is in black and white (the program was in color), the red hair of Guillem was mesmerizing, and it was so rare, new and daring to have a danseuse etoile with short hair (besides Zizi Jeanmaire)
