Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker & Rosas

«Violin Phase», created in 1981 by the young dance student Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker to the composition of minimal music pioneer Steve Reich, is a choreographic gem that has lost none of its radiant power. The synergy of the simple, subtle and increasingly expansive dance movements with the minimalist violin sounds is of breathtaking beauty in its pureness and intent. Executed on a stage covered in white sand, the repetitive, minutely shifting phases inscribe forms and patterns in the sand creating a picture of time and movement. The Theater Spektakel shows the epic piece again on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. Yuika Hashimoto, member of the de Keersmaeker’s Rosas company, will perform solo in the open air on the Saffa Island: A wonderful setting for a wonderful piece. (esc)
