GLA55 10 movements to the music of Philip Glass

Coprogrammed by Le Bateau Feu Scène nationale

The marriage of two major aesthetic traditions. A new work by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is always an exceptional experience. Here, she harmonises her choreographic style with the musical motifs of Philip Glass to create a physical geometry of absolute simplicity. In GLA55, the repetition of motifs creates a spiral in which the precision of the body responds to the musical loops. A visual and rhythmic sensation.


At 6.00 pm: free shuttle bus departing from Roubaix
