Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker Rosas theatre tickets Sadlers Wells London

Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker39s Rosas has been a leading light in contemporary dance in Europe for more than 20 years. A pioneer of minimalist music Steve Reich has been described as America39s greatest living composer. Here Rosas presents an evening of dance devoted to his music featuring two existing pieces of dance and two new works. The first of two new works is Four Organs set to Reich39s controversial composition created in 1970 for four Hammond organs. The second Eight Lines is danced to Reich39s piece of the same name for two pianos plus wood and strings. Completing the programme is the classic Piano Phase which sees De Keersmaeker39s choreography stripped down to its bare bones as the dancer39s deft movements mirror the tight phrases of Reich39s music. Drumming Part 1 is another celebrated work in which De Keersmaeker39s powerful energetic choreography is once again partnered perfectly with Reich39s definitive style as 13 dancers move to the beat of four live percussionists. Reich39s score will be brought bursting to life live on stage by the acclaimed music group Ictus.
