Rosas | THE SONG #1

Rosas | THE SONG

The Song is about a world that is rushing ahead of itself, dashing at an ever faster tempo. A world whose acceleration is increasing to the extent that standstill seems inevitable. As ever, at the heart of this whirlwind of change stands the body, at the eye of the storm. As a sounding board in a reality that is chaotically transforming.

In The Song, ten dancers nine men and one woman stand on an empty stage. It is stripped to its bare essentials. To the elementary constituents of theatre: light, sound and movement. The acting area marked out by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, together with the artists Anne Veronica Janssens and Michel François, is a desert. The arid land which in spite of itself gives life to new possibilities: a playful solo in which the body seeks out its own weightlessness or a group choreography like a flock of birds in full flight, the constantly shifting patterns at the same time a sample of mathematical precision and human inventiveness.

Even though this piece has no music the fact that is done in silence makes it very interesting seems as if its more natural and not so choreographed. I feel that the dancers might even feel more free at the fact that they don't have the music in the beginning as a background which can sometimes make dancers speed up or lose the counts because of the beats of the music. The movements seem very wild bu unique.
