Dancing to the core of Vivaldi's masterpiece 'The Four Seasons'

For this dance creation, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Radouan Mriziga drew inspiration from Antonio Vivaldi's masterpiece 'The Four Seasons,' performed by violinist Amandine Beyer and her ensemble Gli Incogniti. This iconic piece, known as a classical hit and tribute to nature, forms the basis of their choreography.

De Keersmaeker and Mriziga share a passion for natural observation, geometry, and abstraction. They express concerns about our ever-changing relationship with nature. Patterns, structures, and natural elements inspire the choreography. Reflecting on the seasons underscores the urgency of the climate crisis. Can we still speak of four seasons today? Vivaldi composed the work exactly three hundred years ago, which also prompts us to reflect on geopolitical dynamics and knowledge dissemination.

In 'Il Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Inventione,' various threads are woven into a unique choreographic language, which harks back to the core and structure of 'The Four Seasons.' The performance also explores the contemplative aspect of this composition and the familiarity of both the music and nature.
