We celebrate the International Dance Day with Cesena by  Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker / Rosas, that earned the Belgian choreographer the Montreal Grand Prix de la Danse.

The live streaming webcast is available on Culturgest’s Facebook and YouTube until April 30.

Cesena is the creation of a world of mystery and rituals, it is the result of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Rosas close collaboration with Björn Schmelzer and his graindelavoix ensemble.

After the “The Six Brandenburg Concertos” [Os Seis Concertos Brandeburgueses], Culturgest will once again present a creation by this company. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Rosas were to return to Culturgest in May with A Love Supreme. This show will now take place on a new date to be announced soon.

This piece might be viewed as a mirror creation of En Atendant – both pieces were presented for the first time at the Avignon Festival as a diptych that springs from Ars Subtilior, the 14th century vanguard musical style. Whereas in En Atendant the twilight merged almost imperceptibly into night, Cesena heralds the start of the day and on the music’s dramatic and emotional effect.

Nineteen dancers and singers explore the limits of their ability to a point were it becomes impossible to differentiate who is doing what. On stage, music and movement play as a whole leaving behind physical and emotional trace that forms a sculpture of passing time, of the constant transformation of what is around us and of what only becomes visible in the course of time. The start of a new day, or a new look at a distant past.

The Belgian choreographer was awarded the Montreal Grand Prix de la Danse for this diptych. Cesena was presented at the alkantara festival and at the Guimarães European Capital of Culture 2012.
