As we enter the room at Usine C, there is already a shape on the floor, dangling like a pendulum from left to right. Not a dancer yet, but a video projection of a human-like black blob. Soon, Louise Lecavalier walks onstage and lies next to it, espousing its shape and movement. Already in its […]

To enjoy the music of minimalist composer Steve Reich is to be brought one step closer to appreciating Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s choreography for Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich.
