Retrospectiva Rosas (Bélgica)
Nine years after their last visit to Brazil, Rosas returns to Rio de Janeiro to present three of their pieces at Festival Panorama 2011 – 20 years. The company created by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker more than 25 years ago is currently one of the most respected and requested companies in the world. In 1982, they premiered Fase, their first show and one of the works to be performed at Panorama this year. From then on, a series of impressive choreographies marked the history of Rosas.

In the work that is going to open Panorama 2011, choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker takes a new step in her research about the relationship between dance and music. After working with the music of Bach and Webern in Zeitung, the Beatles in The song, and Mahler in 3Abscheid, her starting point is now ars subtilior: a sophisticated form of polyphonic music based on dissonance and contrast of sounds dating back from the 14th century. This style was developed at a time when the social, political and religious pillars of the medieval era were falling apart. In light of the growing confusion and complexity of the post-modern world, the issues of mortality and physicality discussed in this work can be seen from a new perspective. En atendant premiered in 2010 at Festival D’Avignon.
