With Rosas danst Rosas, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker achieved an international breakthrough. Four dancers repeat intense movements to music by Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch. 40 years later, this iconic choreography remains vibrant. With Rosas danst Rosas, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker forced an international breakthrough in 1983 with her young company. For De Keersmaeker, this production was 'a brilliant celebration of our womanhood.' Eleven chairs, four dancers who enthusiastically repeat themselves to the point of exhaustion to the maximalist cadence of Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch. The minimalism that De Keersmaeker had earlier introduced in Fase became a fixed signature in Rosas danst Rosas. More than 40 years after the premiere, the counter stands at over 500 performances, carried by 28 dancers across five generations. For this revival, De Keersmaeker passes the torch to a completely new cast. Ready to lose themselves in unison in this legendary choreography. Repetition as pure intensity - from the first breath to the final exhausting blow.
