NDT 1 dancer Madoka Kariya in rehearsal Vanishing Twin - Jiří Kylián (Architecture of the Invisible) 

Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) | Jiří Kylián's piece 'Vanishing Twin’ for the NDT 1 programme ‘Architecture of the Invisible’. www.ndt.nl/en/...
The darkness and unpredictable rhythms of human life are at the centre of Jiří Kylián's Vanishing Twin (2008). The work was inspired by the medical phenomenon of the same name, a rare and unusual condition in which one foetus takes over the womb at the expense of its twin, until it disappears completely. It is a poetic symbol for the darker side we all share, which we don't accept and would rather not reveal to others. Imagining all that could have been had the vanished twin survived, Kylián's choreography aptly illustrates temporariness, suppressed emotions and our efforts to leave a mark on the world.
