Always part of the current climate, the revolutionary choreographer of the 80’s, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, makes a flight in space-time and imagines a world in which dawn and twilight would be as one, a world for nine men and one woman, where body is gradually deprived of its role. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker throws her dancers and her art into a chaotic universe, so close from us, revealing at the same time our terrible humanity and our deep animality. What about mankind and politics in a society lacking thoughts and ideology but reviving suspect beliefs, in a world where humanity is always on the edge of sinking, like an equilibrist on a thread. In the empty space of the stage, the choreographer pursues – like in her precedent shows Keeping still and Zeitung – a keen research on mankind’s future, presenting art not as a savior but as a tool for questioning, and advocating, with a romantic idealism, a new world.

“The work she’s been developing for so many years is observing us. She’s one of the few artists whose works help us understand our world.” Daniel Conrod - Télérama
