Achterland

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker • 1990

Book event

“Achterland” occupies a crucial place in Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s carrier: in 1990, it is her first attempt for a greater implication of musicians in on-stage dynamics - an approach that she will widely develop later on. The unusual combination of György Ligeti’s and Eugène Ysaÿe’s music led De Keersmaeker and her dancers to a paradoxical choreographic writing, a delicate compound of virtuoso impetus and decelerations. It was also the first time that the choreographer conceived a specifically masculine material designed for three dancers joining a company largely dominated by women until then. Minimalism and femininity, her former passwords, were slowly metamorphosing and shifting towards a radical no man’s land where boundaries are displaced and signs blurred.
