Repertory Evening - Quatour No 4/Die Grosse Fuge/Verklarte Nacht - T0222730522Focus on Rosas continues with Repertory Evening, a long-awaited opportunity to re-visit three of De Keersmaeker’s signature pieces from the 80s and 90s. In Quatuor No. 4 a quartet of women dance with rebellious energy, impish good humour and sensuality to Béla [Bartók]’s string quartet. [Beethoven]’s Die Grosse Fuge provides a companion to it, accompanying a rigorous work for eight men exploring interaction, unity and conflict. Placed between the two is an intense piece for seven men and six women set to Verklärte Nacht by Arnold Schönberg. The Duke Quartet will accompany Rosas in this evening of De Keersmaeker classics. | |

D'un soir un jour - T01843148818UK Premiere. Complete integration with music has always been at the core of [Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker]’s choreographic work. Her new creation D'un soir un jour, features six works by three renowned composers: Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky and George Benjamin. D’un soir un jour begins with Debussy’s haunting Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune and finishes with Jeux. George Benjamin’s pieces, Dance Figures (2005) and Ringed by the Flat Horizon (1979), are at the centre of the work. Forming the transitions are Stravinsky’s powerful compositions, Fireworks and Symphony of Wind Instruments. Within this taut musical structure, the company of fourteen dancers vividly brings to life De Keersmaeker’s vision of a day and its fleeting moments.Choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. | |
