Shocked by the events in Haiti, Rosas and Vooruit have decided to join forces for a fundraising performance of The Song, the newest production by choreographer Anne-Teresa De Keersmaeker. The proceeds will go directly to the solidarity campaign Hait Lavi 12-12.
The new piece by Rosas is a creation for nine men and one woman. The performance raises the question: Where are we going in this world that seems to be turning faster and faster? Which values do we share, what belongs to the past and what belongs to the future? The body –still- has a central place in this whirlwind of change. Like a sounding board in a chaotic world. Choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker will collaborate closely with light sculptor Ann Veronica Janssens and visual artist Michel François. They turn the space into an ever-changing field of possibilities. As the game of sound and light waves unfolds, a different environment is revealed each time. The new creation continues where previous performances Keeping Still and Zeitung left off.
