borations artistiques ainsi que des rencontres avec d’autres créateurs. Sa récente pièce Vortex Temporum, chorégraphiée à partir de l’œuvre éponyme du compositeur Gérard Grisey, concentre les recherches de la chorégraphe : d’une part par l’élaboration « classique » d’une œuvre sur scène qui réunit sur le plateau sept danseurs de la compagnie Rosas, six musiciens et un chef d’orchestre de la compagie Ictus, et d’autre part par un développement muséal (Work / Travail / Arbeid) qui a été présenté au Centre Pompidou de Paris, au Wiels de Bruxelles puis le sera en 2016 à la Tate Modern de Londres. Cette expérience qui concentre la logique chorégraphique de la créatrice sur base de principes mathématiques et géométriques lui ouvre de nouvelles explorations conceptuelles, techniques et physiques qui prennent forme aujourd’hui dans la dernière œuvre : Golden Hours (As You Like It). En effet, unissant deux univers distincts, celui de la musique pop du disque Another Green World de Brian Eno et la comédie de Shakespeare As You Like It (Comme il vous plaira), Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker propose une histoire des corps qui déconstruisent / reconstruisent la composition sonore tout en racontant en gestes et en mouvements l’intrigue d’une relation amoureuse.

A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BODIES AND BEINGS IN LOVE WITH POP MUSIC.
T
his is the last show of the season, but also the last show scheduled by Frank Feitler before Tom Leick takes over the management of Théâtres de la Ville during the next season. Thus, symbolically, dance can be seen as crowning years of program mes, through the medium of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, the renowned choreographer and her Brussels-based company, Rosas. The Grand Théâtre has always welcomed the works of the Belgian choreographer, who, for many years, has journeyed to Luxembourg each season to present a new piece or to showcase a reworking of an existing choreography. The encounters between Luxembourg audiences and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker have always been a success. Thanks to the unstinting artistic integrity of De Keersmaeker and Frank Feitler, and the familiarity between the audiences and this artist, it is likely that the performance of this show on 30 June will arouse a rather special empathy and emotional bond. Over the past few years, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has focused her creativity on a precise and deconstructed analysis of her working processes and on the creation of new pieces closely related to time and music. Her approach has spawned numerous artistic collaborations, as well as encounters with other creative artists. De Keersmaeker’s recent piece, Vortex Temporum, which was choreographed based on the eponymous work of Gérard Grisey, a composer, was the outcome of a lot of research and hard work: firstly for the “traditional” elaboration of a work for the stage involving seven dancers of the Rosas company, six musicians and a conductor from the Ictus company, and secondly, for a related installation aimed at museums (Work/Travail/Arbeid) that was shown at Centre Pompidou in Paris, at Wiels in Brussels, and will eventually be shown in 2016 at the Tate Modern in London.

experiment, which focuses the choreographic logic of De Keersmaeker on mathematical and geometrical principles, has opened up new conceptual, technical and physical avenues for her, which are now embodied in her latest work: Golden Hours (As You Like It). Combining two separate universes, that of the pop music of Brian Eno’s album Another Green World, and Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker presents a story of bodies that deconstruct and reconstruct the sound track, while depicting the intrigue of a romantic relationship in gestures and movements.

Pour moi, la pop représente notre rapport le plus quotidien à la musique. C’est une part de notre mémoire collective, une fusion de la musique, du théâtre, de la danse et de la littérature. For me, pop music epitomises our day-to-day relationship with music. It is part of our collective memory, a mash-up of music, theatre, dance and literature.
