de structuur van de hele voorstelling

From the book “A Choreographer’s Score”

The original piece lasts 1h40′ and consists of 4 parts. In the first movement the dancers lie on the floor. In the second they are seated on a chair. In the third they stand in a line. And finally they move throughout the space.

For Re: Rosas! Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Samantha van Wissen made a simplified version of the chair section. The original choreography lasts fifteen minutes. In this film clip Anne Teresa explains how the original choreography is built up.

 

The performance as it was shown in 2010 at Kaaitheater with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Tale Dolven, Elizaveta Penkóva and Sue-Yeon Youn.
