[tiraluvr941]

yup that my friend waz true art i loved the meaning of the story (:

[0Lollipop0100]

why the smoke?...what does it represents... i understood just that the his smoke always alleviate or comfort her...but why smoke???

[LilyNoelleArt]

@0Lollipop0100 I don't know why smoke, but to me it represents the ephemeral transcience of life, love, death, and everything inbetween ... the weightlessness of time, the wisps of inspiration that form us, the subtle swirling ecstasy of being alive and knowing it can't last.

[lynnboston]

She's amazing. I loved it.

[tedsler]

Mats Ek - Sylvie Guillem - Arvo Pärt = magic

[gpilotgabe]

she has truely touched the heart of me :) you can tell she loves to dance <3

[primaballerina176]

I'm sorry, but for about half of this video I was hysterically laughing...Nevertheless, this was superb. She lifts her legs so effortlessly! And those feet.

[polma82]

does it continue? is there a smoke 4??

[dancingqueen0542]

this didn't feel like 8 minutes... it's captivating!

[ekc98]

she's amazing but she kinda scares me she's so skinny

[georgiamagica]

[CureMaria]

she is sooo dynamical liquid!

[tiaraajackson]

I am incredibly in awe!

There is so much grace, simplicity, and innocence in the beginning. ASTOUNDING!

Sylvies grace eats this at this piece.

[ispiseco]

she's the most amazing dancer I've ever seen. A true godess.

[hirvio68]

Utterly sublime. Typically for Ek,  funny and so moving at the same time.

[deboshir]

great

[YardenRaz1]

One of my favorite tracks , one of my favorite dancers and one of my favorite choreographers.

[BlackIllusion1]

Sylvie Guillem is so perfeect!! And her feet *o*! Is the perfection

[13peyman]

perfect... :)

[maltezucretu]

Beautiful...the rest is silence...

[dancerr625]

one of the most heart breaking incredibly beautiful things ive ever seen. EVERRRR. gah.

favorite part = 6:01 to 6:18

uhh idk why. ha.

[christinasketo]

O.M.G. She is just perfect. the way she moves... she's perfect

[rumpelhair]

Beautifuly done! Awoman awaiting her husband from the war was my impression...

[akissgr1]

Excellent and nicely direction on the video too :)

[meimeiWo3]

Sylvie Guilleme est une danseuse tellement accomplie. Elle est radieuse. C'est mon idole!!

[davit1982]

Genius of our time - MATS EK

[areadonna]

Splendida!

[bayderman]

terrific, honest, and deepest human mind.

[mariadelamor21]

Expresivo, sugerente, delicioso.

[Morn2moon]

EXCELLENT...what a pleasure to watch. Thank you *X*

[madisonave64]

I've watched this countless times since it was put up in 07...is there anyway I can find it on a DVD? I would love to have it in a better quality.

[KultureShock]

If you found it please let me know.

[chrisnatti]

@madisonave64 I think it's out of print. I've seen it for sale on VHS on ebay.

They really should release this whole series on DVD. Astounding!!!

[alambradodanza]

questo video mi ha commossa perchè è magico....

[DancerWithTheBadKnee]

I cried my eyes out at the end of these three videos. I don't know why... But the feelings expressed in this piece are so intimate to me...

[pediatrapaola]

you are right ,very very intimate me too

[DaChieftain]

@DancerWithTheBadKnee -- same here. I think it's the music as much as the choreography as much as the genius of the performers. Crikey, Sylvie Guillem is magical!

[Dinoo228]

beautiful penche at 2:43 i love mats ek's choreography

[viqo32]

una delicia,.....

[GiuConfuorto]

no words

[songaikido]

all three "smoke" at the heart of relationship. it is for us to love this beauty beyond our imaginings, yet of us, of our human core. at the final gesture I wept for reconciliation.

[willowprawn]

Its really beutiful and amazing , i've never seen anything  like it before :)

[Signosteatrodanza]

Most movingly profound in every sensibility.

[jfm3dance]

Sylvie and mats ek is magic!!

[kansakimaki]

Mats Ek is a genius!

[Leonnidik]

SG is like the Mona Lisa, see her once, you never forget.

[jts729]

What a pity to have such a phenomenal dancer in such silly choreography.

[reginaholic]

7:15 is lovely, her playing the violin painfuly

[stephaniemagritte]

[NedsMissingTeeth]

A truely beautiful piece of work, I've watched this so many times and it only gets better.

[rojeda49]

"Wet Woman" me estremece... "Wet Woman" makes me tremble... pero "Smoke" simplemente me hace llorar sin saberlo... but "Smoke" simply makes me cry without noticing why... ¡Es simplemente magistral!... It is simply magistral!

I love Arvo Pärt

[Benny190891]

haha i get the envy groan at 2:47

[laylasheleh]

sublime-a language that has no dialogue...

[BlancheSolitude]

es impresionante la cantidad de emociones que es capaz de expresar el cuerpo humano sin proninciar ni un solo sonido.

qué grande.

eso es ARTE.

gracias.

[scobbey]

She is singing with her body,telling a story and acting choreography is best i've ever seen in my life and i'm tempted to say the dance as well but she's not dancing....i see this a something else much stronger than dance

[ralphierivera]

Me encanta; I love her....

[lamagnolita]

guauuuuuu que maravilla!!!! gracias por compartirlo gracias

[lusyka]

i cried.....she's the best.....

[winterfestdance]

ahhhh her feet at 2:42

this woman is incredible. She was put on this earth to dance. she deserves more credit than svetlana zahrkova!

[leannje]

i'm sorry. 1th part is für alina, second sarah was 90 years old and third spiegel im spiegel

[leannje]

music by arvo pärt - you can read it in the description of video :)

the tune is called "für alina"

[dottorina46]

Me encanta. Resulta fascinador como se puede ser libre con el movimiento...me hace sentir en otra esfera, como en un mundo sin problemas, como si volviese a ser niño...me ha encantado!

[Jayjen35]

OMG her feet! They are incredible! When they are pointed they barely look human!

[Bulhakas]

This is worthless.

[sarahselina]

I only found this through my dance course... and oh my god... wow... what an amazing dance. with fantastic dancers. the precision and beauty of it is just incredible.

[Bulhakas]

This is utter shite straight out of a dog's arse.

[Freakodancer]

Mats Ek is a real artist! I love his work and I would be really happy to cooperate with him one day... I also think that modern dance fits to Sylvie much better than ballet.

[auroraalen]

g é n i a l e m e n t ! ! !

[Lulizinha]

Que música é esta?

[239323]

Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Part.

[msymaria]

It is so rare to see expressive dancers. She is just amazing, so light, perfect, smooth... besides her incredible phisical caracteristics...I think I have never seen feet such as hers!!!

Absolute perfection. Sublime beauty. I've never been so moved by a dance(r). She is breathtaking, and the choreography/dramaturgy is just fantastic.

Thank you for posting this one...

[ellandelachapelle]

Wow! That was the most amazing ballet I´ve ever seen! First time I see this ASTOUNDING woman! (although I´ve seen Mats Ek and his ballets many times.)

[LINAKI123]

[leoninsf]

I wish that one day, I would touch my audience as the way she touches my heart. Sometimes, there is no need for fancy costumes, for magnificant stage, or all that glitters... to make me cry! thank you, Sylvie!

[leoninsf]

Watching her dance, I see LIFE with all of its aspects: struggles, love, relationsship, solitude, angers... The dance is so beautiful, so emotional...Thanks so much for posting.

[loocielevy]

everything just great, but i would like to know when did sylvie record this video, and if it has any relation with Wet Woman (also by Mats Ek)

[selfreflectionII]

'Evidentia' was released about '95 so Smoke was probably recorded around that time or just before.

[SPACEWARRIOR83]

picking up my jaw now~

[badfeetcat]

I would LOVE to see her live!

[pushdance]

Done to absolute perfection...

[Ave88]

i am out of words..it all makes sence. wanna watch it over again.

[bonjo70]
