‘Cesena’ sees Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Rosas join forces with Björn Schmelzer and his ensemble Graindelavoix. The new show is almost the opposite of predecessor ‘En Atendant’, where day faded into night almost imperceptibly, whereas this piece hails the dawn of a new day.

19 dancers and singers take the stage together and explore the limits of their ability. Dancers sing and singers dance, once again in a dialogue with the unconventional compositions of the 14th century Ars Subtilior. Ann Veronica Janssens provides a scenography of colour and light for a third time. It’s a sculpture of time that passes, the continuous transformation of our surroundings, and things that only become visible over time. The dawn of a new day, or a fresh look at a distant past.

This spectacular production will be performed at the Flemish Opera.
