HOMEPAGE : LIST OF FILMS :

Achterland 1994 / 84' Director: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker Choreographer: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker Music: Georgyi Ligeti, Eugene Ysaye Performers: Rosas Production: Rosas, De Munt / La Monnaie Belgium Achterland, filmed by De Keersmaeker herself, is another manifestation of her interest in the differences between men and women. She focuses on the diversity and multiplicity regarding the concept of femininity. In Achterland, De Keersmaeker uses for the first time musicians who not only perform live but also take part in the theatrical game. In her choreography, recurring characteristics of her work can be recognised: reference to earlier works, movement processed to the limit of endurance, repetition, fast running in a circle, the intense encounters of men and women in the second part. A performance and a film that remain in a fundamental position in the choreographer's work, featuring great interpretations by the members of the group Rosas. [ back to the list ]
