Gods and Dogs / 2 Chapters Love
Jiří Kylián has had a lasting impact on 20th-century ballet. In *Gods and Dogs*, Kylián builds a bridge—in a radically dense manner—between the divine and the instinctive, between order and madness.

2 Chapters Love
The piece explores the fine line where “normal” behavior tips over into the supposedly “bizarre,” thereby revealing the darkness within the everyday. The choreography depicts the individual’s struggle with unleashed energy, the merging of human and instinct, and the opening of a gaping chasm between what we are and what we dare not be. The work thus becomes a radical, poetic search for the irrational moment that makes us human in the first place.
Sharon Eyal is one of the most distinctive choreographic voices in contemporary dance. With 2 Chapters Love, she once again creates an incomparable experience. Precision, repetition, and intensification in the choreography push the dancers to their limits and beyond. Clean lines set to electronic beats transform every movement into a hypnotic pull, where classical technique meets club aesthetics.
Love, pain, desire, and loneliness become physically and intensely palpable. 2 Chapters Love draws the ensemble and the audience into a collective frenzy that lingers long after the performance ends.
