1h 20' Duet with Brel: dance and chanson in intimate dialogue
All waiting lists are fully booked.
Rosas’ new work unites two Belgian legends: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and chansonnier Jacques Brel. The choreographer not only creates a duet set to Brel’s melodies, but also dances it herself, together with the impressive emerging dancer Solal Mariotte. Mariotte is a graduate of P.A.R.T.S, with a background in hip-hop. He has previously appeared at DE SINGEL in Exit Above, the Rosas production featuring pop music by Meskerem Mees.
The choreography of this new duet is inspired by the moods, gestures and storylines characteristic of the chanson, and by the unique expressiveness and physicality of Brel’s iconic performances. It is a continuation of De Keersmaeker’s second dance solo, Once, in which she played the entire album Joan Baez in Concert, Part 2 , exploring the possible responses - in movement, voice and gestures - to the emotions and power of music. You will not want to miss how De Keersmaeker and Mariotte further explore the potential of choreography set to songs, in a true ‘Ne me quitte pas de deux’.
