Jiří Kylián, one of the greatest contemporary choreographers, uses the creation and staging of a new piece as an introduction into his special world. For the premiere of the new work, Kylián returned to his native Prague, a city that has been a constant source of inspiration for him; the film also includes sequences from several of Kylián’s signature dance works, including Bella Figura and Petite Mort.
