In association with the 18th Biennale of Sydney: all our relations, Carriageworks presents the Australian premieres of En Atendant and Cesena – two exciting performances by renowned choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s dance ensemble Rosas. En Atendant takes a new step in the exploration of combined music and dance, drawing inspiration from ars subtilior. This complex and intellectual form of polyphonic music developed out of the ruins of the plague in the fourteenth century, a time when the pillars of mediaeval society were fragmenting. De Keersmaeker explores questions of our mortality and physicality that are now becoming ever more crucial, taking us to a place where twilight merges almost imperceptibly into night … Cesena is choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in collaboration with musical director Björn Schmelzer and his ensemble graindelavoix. This new production could be considered the counterpart to En Atendant. Performers share the stage, exploring the limits of their ability – where dancers sing and singers dance in dialogue with the fourteenth century scores of the ars subtilior. Rosas has collaborated with Ann Veronica Janssens for the set design, creating a sculpture of passing time, reflecting the constant transformation of what is around us but only becomes visible in the course of time. A new look at a distant past … the start of a new day. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is a great artist; radical, uncompromising, showing that minimalism can give birth to still more emotions and universally evoke images, sounds, feelings of beauty and melancholy.’ Guy Duplat, La Libre, 2011.
