Between you, me and the clouds of powder, incessantly pouffing around the stage throughout Jiří Kylián's 2 nd piece in the inaugural night—the hilarious Sechs  Tänze (Six Dances). I really wanted to like  the first two works by Czech choreographer Jiří Kylián .  I wanted to switch off my brain and enjoy what was clearly meant to be two light-hearted, bawdy, sensual, mixed-media ballets. And I really would have and I could have, if it hadn't been for those damned semiotics , my own sense of representation and its importance--and also, a general feeling of unease that grew as I watched each piece and my own pro-fe
