Millions of years ago, an incomprehensible cosmic event occurred in the constellation Cassiopeia. The radio waves from this event are still perceptible today.
Every event in our lives, even if it lies seemingly far in the past, poses the question: What remains?

Nachtmerrie

Dreams have always played a big role in my life. Nachtmerrie is the Dutch word for nightmare. For me the word doesn't mean anything negative, I don't judge it as something bad. I've always found the word beautiful. At the moment I'm dreaming of old loves and I'm quite often surpri- sed that things which happened years ago suddenly reappear.

The unusual coincidence that John Cranko died on the day

Blake Works I

Blake Works I is a celebration of everything ballet has brought to me in life. It's just another way to love ballet — and there are so many ways.
