Sylvie Guillem 6,000 miles away @ Lincoln Center

L'toile of France performed @ the Koch theatre and lit up the stage.  Ms. Guillem's dancing left no doubt as to why she is one of the world's most revered and decorated dancers.  Her artistry and technique deserve the highest of accolades.  C'est incroyable given that Ms. Guillem is nearing 50.  The program started with Rearray, a pas de deux with Guillem and Murru.  The Choreography was by William Forsythe.  Unfortunately, his lighting distracted from his dance with too many black outs and pauses.  27'52" was a hostile and aggressive dance by Czech choreographer Jiri Kylian. Both the male and female dancer tormented each other but in the end one could not live without the other.  The piece d'resistance was the  solo piece performed by Ms. Guillem and choreographed by Mats Ek of Sweden.  Ek collaborated with filmographer Elias Benxon for a visual effect that was witty, mystifying and totally captivating. Dance is the body's expression of joy and awe.  Tonight's performances were the pinnacle of artistic expression.  My only pithy complaint is that taped rather than live music accompanied the program.
