Love this piece for its chemistry. The partners inspiring each other to greater heights. I love their subdued flirtatious smile in the middle. You could feel the fire.
they have made a few mistakes here, but it's an incredibly technical and physically demanding piece. If you see it from other dancers you realise how good Guillem and Hilaire are.Sylvie said it's a piece when you dance it you are always margining on the edge.
I think you exaggerate.Somehow you forgot that before Sylvie the title "Primadonna Assoluta" in 20 century was carried by at least three more dancers: Pavlova,Ulanova and Plisetskaya.
That's too much. Plisetskaya, Ulanova, Baryshnikov, Kirkland are a few examples of dancers that one could not say with any certainty that someone is better than them. But Sylvie had very unique gifts, and she is up there when it comes to modern ballet.
I was going to say that too. Sylvie is the "diva assoluta" of the ballet world, quite an alien but people tend to focus only on her, whereas Laurent Hillaire is her male equivalent, a remarkable dancer and the combination of those two in this electrifying ballet is just stunning.
souvent elle domine son partenaire, tellement elle est géniale, mais je trouve que Laurent Hilaire est vraiment à sa hauteur, artistiquement et physiquement.
@@tarantellalarouge7632 c'est pour ca qu'ils etaient le top. Je peux te garantir...je les ai vu a' Londres dans Bayadere et Raymonda. 1990. Et je reve encore aujourd'hui de leur beaute', savoir fare et classe.
@@EuroForUkraine Hard to explain if you don't know ballet terminology But basically it starts at about the 22 sec. marc where Sylive kicks her right leg up and it ends up behind her on the ground whilst still making eye contact with her partner as if it was nothing !
So fabulous. It's the best performance of seduction and tension between a man and a woman. Very young but very mature. I've adomired Sylvie for a very long time. She is a gift to mankind.

Omg, I was going to learn this for fun with a dancer friend of mine, I thought it would be a novel break from the sparse norm, but after watching this lol I'm not sure it will be very easy to do this with a married women, not having a women of my own xD If I had seen this much earlier in my life I'd probably have been more inspired, they look amazing together!
@@francinesicard464 Merci Francine car c'est clair que chacun a son propre goût. Mais dire que la danse classique ne va pas a' Sylvie est très très excentrique.
it was a new year show on the french television at the end of the 80s,shortly after the ballet was created. i would say 87-89. I remember seeing in live on television , being amazed by it (i was studying ballet at the Conservatoire at the time) and being enraged by the polite applause that followed. i couldn't understand how the audience wasn't giving a standing ovation to this performance. You have to remember that at the time, this technical level was something unseen, nobody had such extensions (they are much more common now). But Sylvie and Laurent made everything look so easy that the audience probably thought that is was indeed easy :)) Pity that this recording is in black and white (the program was in color), the red hair of Guillem was mesmerizing, and it was so rare, new and daring to have a danseuse etoile with short hair (besides Zizi Jeanmaire)

I watch this so often!
Same 💕🩰 never!
I’ve watched it like 20 times in a row now. HOLEY MOLEY
The peak of dance, perfection in every possible way. I will watch this over and over as long as I live.
Tout à fait de votre avis ….c est à dire époustouflant !!!!A voir et revoir …c est unique !!!!

I just discovered Sylvie Guillem and I can see why she’s so well liked. This is fabulous.
i usually think of modern ballet has athletic, but sylvie gives it magic
In my opinion modern dance cannot possibly get any better than this!
One of my favourites ... phenomenal leg line as ever ...
Sylvie is beyond description. She's perfect and mesmerising. I can't take my eyes off her. And she looked like Isabelle Adjani back then.
Yeah she did.
They are equally amazing
It is easy to see why she was the number 1 greatest dancer of the twentieth century. And....this century, so far, no one is better!

the most glamorous couple in ballet. Ever.

@@francinesicard464 you could have not put it better!
does anyone else find this futuristic, apart from awesome?
Je ne me lasse pas de regarder ce duo et cette chorégraphie. Sylvie Guillem, la plus grande danseuse.
Oui, la plus grande danseuse française.
souvent elle domine son partenaire, tellement elle est géniale, mais je trouve que Laurent Hilaire est vraiment à sa hauteur, artistiquement et physiquement.
@@tarantellalarouge7632 les deux sont parfaits dans leurs rôles respectifs : dualité, défi physique et psychologique ... Un grand moment ...

I saw Sylvie do this a number of times in London. I miss her dancing.
Thanks for posting this. What a rare treat. The chemistry between Guillem and Hilaire is exceptional.
Totally agree - they are incredible together
2:43 What a look! What a chemistry! Sylvie is another level of gorgeous
Não me canso de ver esta maravilhosa mulher dançando, fantástica 🎉
the intensity of their gazes O_O
the Goddess of Ballet
Beyond words is Sylvie.
Шикарно! Полное слияние с партнёром и музыкой! Это просто восхитительное исполнение! Спасибо!
Never tired of watching them ..
Moi non plus......
@@cicely9015 Same for me!
What can you say...wow!!!!..amazing incredible..those words are just not enough to describe this creatures..
The originals performing the pas de deux!!!
my all time favorite pas de deux
La perfezione.....che piacere sentirne il suono..
Sylvie Guilhem, la plus charismatique de toutes les danseuses.
I'm obsessing on all things Forsythe...and this is just the cherry on the sundae. Sublime
Perfeection! THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING
Шикарное исполнение!
Breathtaking!
Absolute style - it doesn't get any better ❤❤❤❤❤
Ils sont l'histoire!
Ils sont dans l'Histoire
They are History !
no words..........
Of course Silvie is a technical phenomenon.
This choreografie is 100%created to show this off.......
THAT'S IT.
c'est un compliment ou une critique ?
@@JM-xr3kv A mon avis un compliment. Ce ballet de William Forsythe a été créé pour SG en 1987.
Bellísimo!
Великолепно !!!
stunning!
love it !
Love these two. Her perfect. Vertical.leg lift
Bellissimi!
Magnifique, entre la danse et l'escrime
Un équilibre de ouf.
I think they were in love...the intesity in their eyes is too strong!!
Oui on l'observe souvent quand ils dansent ensemble. Amour ou... grande complicité, et indéniablement tendresse ?
the daring looks and smiles ! no diggity, no doubt !
Ok, I have been told by a friend who is a real ballettoman in France: they actually dated at the time. 8D
@@tarantellalarouge7632 yes, they were in love!!
@@estrellamarrone oh do tell moree, they must have made a striking couple!
Fantastic! Love this video. Thank you for sharing :-)
Wow it's amazing
I'd love to agree, but I am afraid I saw Darcy and Laurent...easily the finest piece of art i have ever seen.
send this out on the next voyager
So fabulous.
It's the best performance of seduction and tension between a man and a woman.
Very young but very mature.
I've adomired Sylvie for a very long time.
She is a gift to mankind.
Fantastic.
It sure was wonderful to dance it.
Who in the fracking heck gave THIS a thumbs down??...
Hahaha! Well certainly not me. But it takes all sorts....
not me either, but I think maybe it is for the quality of the video, it is slightly blurry ! or maybe jealous trolls ?
I could name couple of "Diva Ballerinas" who envy and hate Sylvie and search her videos here on UA-cam so they can give it a thumb down...😄

I really like it

as usual a dream....
Is there a higher quality video of this performance? And where could I find it?
I wanna see It too
ua-cam.com/video/HqS4Gh1lMGA/v-deo.html
She is best in ths kind of avant garde work... raw dance without the frills of tutus and dresses...which do NOT fit her frame or movement.
She was BEST in both classic - marvellous Raymonda, or Nikkiya in La Bayadère choreographed by Nureyev - and contemporary dancing. No discussion!
@@francinesicard464 Merci Francine car c'est clair que chacun a son propre goût. Mais dire que la danse classique ne va pas a' Sylvie est très très excentrique.

If looks could kill... and legs off course.
This version of Sylvie turned Rudolf straight.
@@GeorgeOu ahahahaah TOP!
@@fabiesque Rudolf has said that Sylvie is the only woman in the world he would ever marry.
Anyone know which year this was recorded?

's poppin uh
最初に見た時びっくりした。

2:40 Sylvie reminds me of Sarah Lamb (ROH) here.
well...twice the size!
Will someone please tell me who wrote and performed the music? I would appreciate that. Thanks.
Thom Willems
!
How the music called?
Does anyone know when this magic was filmed?
The ballet was created by William Forsythe in 1987 for the Paris Opera with Sylvie Guillem in mind.
@@francinesicard464 Thanks!
How evil would it be to remove fingers from camera users who think that close-ups of moving dancers are cool?
In case of 2:43 very evil indeed! ;)
do you know the name of the music or composer?
Thom Willems and this piece was composed for William Forsythe's eponym ballet.
