In today's surroundings, the difference between truth and falsehood is hard to tell.
We are living in a world of suspicion.
Wanting to touch uncertain, incomprehensible, mysterious something, fundamental desire = desire for existence.
I think that music of Toru Takemitsu has the same quality.

Serenade
Choreography George Balanchine
Music Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Danced to Tchaikovsky's soaring score Serenade for Strings in C Major, in the pale blue moonlight, Serenade is a milestone in the history of ballet. It was the first ballet created by great master George Balanchine in America in 1934. And it still feels innovative and refreshing to the audiences with its romantic flowing steps in harmony with music, unexpected brisk motion and ever-changing formation. Loved by audiences and dancers alike since its premiere, it has been presented by many of the ballet companies worldwide.

Le Sacre du printemps
Choreography Maurice Béjart
Music Igor Stravinsky
Le Sacre du printemps was born amidst the whirlwind of Ballet Russes legend in 1913. Many choreographers have since attempted the same Stravinsky's score, one of the most important works in the modern history of music. Maurice Béjart's Le Sacre du printemps is considered to be a masterpiece which succeeded in vivid visualization of the music of Stravinsky by depicting human's desires, brutality and struggle.
