MEDIATHEK

Achterland is the film adaptation of a stage production of the same name from 1990. 

The film was shot on the set of the stage production in the Rosas rehearsal studio. Achterland is a seminal choreography in Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s oeuvre. In this performance, for the first time, the choreographer gave the musicians a central position on stage and let them play an active role in the overall dynamic – an approach she would repeat in many subsequent projects. The unusual combination of György Ligeti’s and Eugène Ysaÿe’s music inspired De Keersmaeker and her dancers to create an original dance score with a delicate balance between energetic virtuosity and deceleration.
