smoke 3/3

[@leoninsf]

Watching her dance, I see LIFE with all of its aspects: struggles, love, relationsship, solitude, angers... The dance is so beautiful, so emotional...Thanks so much for posting.

[@BlancheSolitude]

es impresionante la cantidad de emociones que es capaz de expresar el cuerpo humano sin proninciar ni un solo sonido. qué grande. eso es ARTE. gracias.

[@AngelaPeters]

This may well be the most beautiful dance I have ever seen. She is enchanting and haunting at the same time. Incredible.

[@leoninsf]

I wish that one day, I would touch my audience as the way she touches my heart. Sometimes, there is no need for fancy costumes, for magnificant stage, or all that glitters... to make me cry! thank you, Sylvie!

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

Cette fille est un pur génie, il n'y en a pas beaucoup et ça fait du bien .... elle apporte une autre dimension à toute chorégraphie, il y a elle et les autres ....

[@sarahselina]

I only found this through my dance course... and oh my god... wow... what an amazing dance. with fantastic dancers. the precision and beauty of it is just incredible.

[@ellandelachapelle]

Wow! That was the most amazing ballet I´ve ever seen! First time I see this ASTOUNDING woman! (although I´ve seen Mats Ek and his ballets many times.)

[@seexcedee]

I saw this video three years ago and I really didn't liked it, I think mainly because deep down, I did not understand. But time passed and I grew as an artist and as a human being and the way I see the world change ... and luckily I saw this piece again, and this time, I moved from the depths of my soul. Sylvie is one of the most enlightened artists out there, there's magic in each of their movements.

[@georgiamagica]

who knew, that someone could be so gifted both in body and expression.... There others too fo course, but its so darn rare...

[@bayderman]

terrific, honest, and deepest human mind.

[@crisgranda]

She is my favorite dancer...amazing, her movements are so perfect, so coordinated, and her expressions so vivid, just perfect!

[@fjhaydn6047]

My favorite too. I can't believe there are critics that oppose her for leaving traditional ballet. If they had a real eye for beauty they would appreciate variety in art. Everyone can't be doing dying swan. She did her part for them; the contemporary ballet is her special gift to the world.

[@nykanenrita4415]

One of the most beautiful performance ever done...Just Great🙏❤️

[@swordfishtrombone5]

Absolute perfection. Sublime beauty. I've never been so moved by a dance(r). She is breathtaking, and the choreography/dramaturgy is just fantastic. Thank you for posting this one...

[@YardenRaz1]

One of my favorite tracks , one of my favorite dancers and one of my favorite choreographers.

[@rojeda49]

"Wet Woman" me estremece... "Wet Woman" makes me tremble... pero "Smoke" simplemente me hace llorar sin saberlo... but "Smoke" simply makes me cry without noticing why... ¡Es simplemente magistral!... It is simply magistral!

[@LINAKI123]

her dance is flawless..she's is the best

[@gianfrancocimarosti897]

Dio che emozione!!!

[@dottorina46]

Me encanta. Resulta fascinador como se puede ser libre con el movimiento...me hace sentir en otra esfera, como en un mundo sin problemas, como si volviese a ser niño...me ha encantado!

[@AliciaBaldelli]

wow. I can't get enough of this, sylvie has mastered clasical ballet and modern 7:15 is lovely, her playing the violin painfuly

[@DaChieftain]

@DancerWithTheBadKnee -- same here. I think it's the music as much as the choreography as much as the genius of the performers. Crikey, Sylvie Guillem is magical!

[@giovanna-jennysantagati1585]

Fantastica!!! Persino commovente nella sua perfezione.....

[@matt-james2368]

My ex showed me this video. We were both 21 years old at the time. I was instantly touched by what I was seeing. I snuck a glance at his face as he watched on his own. His facial expression was so beautiful. That was the moment I fell in love with him. To this day 9 years later when I watch this I still tear up thinking about him. This woman is heartbroken and alone. Corroded by pain and loss. Her movements show all of that and so much more. Her mannerisms are the visual representation of sadness and despair. It's so beautiful and haunting. The moment he comes back dancing with her is cathartic and beautiful.

[@tiaraajackson]

I am incredibly in awe! There is so much grace, simplicity, and innocence in the beginning. ASTOUNDING! Sylvies grace eats this at this piece.

[@tedsler]

5:04 just makes me groan by envy every single time And the music is sooooooo good I love Arvo Pärt

[@chriscarlonemusic]

I wish the Smoke series was on DVD. What a treasure.

[@Dancer22312]

[@stephaniemagritte]

[@laylasheleh]

sublime-a language that has no dialogue...

[@hirvio68]

Utterly sublime. Typically for Ek, funny and so moving at the same time.

[@Morn2moon]

[@davit1982]

Genius of our time - MATS EK

[@luiss.i.1681]

[@tedsler]

Mats Ek - Sylvie Guillem - Arvo Pärt = magic

[@1chriscarlone]

@madisonave64 I think it's out of print. I've seen it for sale on VHS on ebay. They really should release this whole series on DVD. Astounding!!!

[@LilyNoelleArt]

@0Lollipop0100 I don't know why smoke, but to me it represents the ephemeral transcience of life, love, death, and everything inbetween ... the weightlessness of time, the wisps of inspiration that form us, the subtle swirling ecstasy of being alive and knowing it can't last.

[@kikcou]

thanks so much for posting this one, isn't it just sublime?

[@ralphierivera]

Me encanta; I love her....

[@stephaniemagritte]

wonderful...

[@thebeautyseeker]

oh oh oh ohohhhhhhhwow.

[@Danzacolapzo]

Se magnific!!!

[@areadonna]

Splendida!

[@ritoulala]

This is magnificent. Poor and rich, real and abstract, "vulgar" and meaningful. I will stop here. I could not keep my senses away.

[@brigittejoignette4779]

A chacun de comprendre, contemporain, impressionnant.

[@Rarre4]

It's Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt

[@isagadiwong8137]

Por lo que entiendo esta reviviendo las experiencias que tuvo con su anterior amor con melancolia... Pero wtf

[@fatovamingus]

This Arvo Part piece is in total OVERKILL. It's way over used in dance. It's easy and emotional. Try John Cage or Bartok then call me.,
