Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
After dance studies, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker conceived her first choreographies in the early 80s, including Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich (1982) and Rosas danst Rosas (1983). Since then, she has constantly explored the relationship between dance and music, drawing on the formal principles of geometry and the study of the natural world and social structures. Between 1992 and 2007, Rosas was in residence at the Théâtre de La Monnaie in Brussels. During this period, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker created several ensemble pieces, including Toccata (1993), Drumming (1998) and Rain (2001). Her most recent pieces are characterized by a stripping back and exposure of the essential elements of her style. She works on music from the Middle Ages (En Atendant, 2010), Gérard Grisey (Vortex Temporum, 2013) and Mozart (Così fan tutte, 2017). A guest of the Festival d'Automne since 1993, she has presented her work there on numerous occasions, including a Portrait in 2018. The choreographer also invests the museum space for several projects, including Forêt presented at the Musée du Louvre as part of the Festival d'Automne 2022.

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Radouan Mriziga / Rosas, A7LA5 Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione
In collaboration with the choreographer and dancer Radouan Mriziga, the challenge taken up by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is to make Vivaldi's Four Seasons heard, using the tools of dance to hone the way we listen to this baroque masterpiece. Under the auspices of abstraction, the resulting alliance reconnects with the imaginary ecological world that is conjured up by this famous concerto.
