Petite Mort is about two Mozart concerts for piano, the work for six men and six women has as main theme the pleasure and duration of time in which we are reminded that life is relatively short and that death is never far from us. In this play, dancers interact with foils while death lurks life. “Death always accompanies our life; it is sometimes small, sometimes large. But, it is the faithful companion since we were born, until the end”, says Kylián.
