Marco Goecke receives the prestigious Jiří Kylián Ring - Holland Dance Festival has officially begun
In the presence of Their Royal Highnesses Princess Beatrix, Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands, the Jiří Kylián Ring was awarded for the eighth time at the opening of the eighteenth edition of the Holland Dance Festival.
German choreographer Marco Goecke received the prestigious Jiří Kylián Ring from the 2020 winner: Marian Sarstädt. She received the ring for her important work for the Dutch dance world.
The Jiři Kylián Ring is a joint initiative of former director of Nederlandse Dansdagen Leontien Wiering and Artistic Director of the Holland Dance Festival Samuel Wuersten. The Ring was established in 2006 out of admiration for Kylián's mastery. Jiři Kylián was asked to pass the Ring on in due course to an artist who, like him, is an inspirer and innovator within the world of dance.
The design of the Ring is by Hans Appenzeller and consists of a set of 14 rings, one ring for each letter of the price. The rings are on a ring size stick and are increasing in size. The person who receives it may choose a matching ring and keep it when he or she passes on the prize. The winner will also receive a financial incentive of five thousand euros from the Kylián Foundation.
