Two performances by renowned choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s dance ensemble, Rosas, make their way to Sydney.
En Atendant explores mortality and physicality through a combination of music and dance, drawing inspiration from ars subtilior, as well as a polyphonic dance style that emerged from the fourteenth century plague.
Considered as a counterpart to En Atendant, Cesena was choreographed in collaboration with musical director Björn Schmelzer and his ensemble Graindelavoix. Performers share the stage with dancers singing and singers dancing, all in dialogue with the fourteenth century scores of the ars subtilior. Set artist Ann Veronica Janssens creates a sculpture reflecting the constant transformations of our surroundings which are only visible after time.
