The Collège de France welcomes the Opéra national de Paris
To conclude the cycle with the Opéra national de Paris begun in spring 2018, on April 10, 2019, the Collège de France will welcome one of the greatest figures in contemporary dance, choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, for a lecture entitled "Choreographing Bach: embodying an abstraction".
When, in 1980, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker worked at Violin Phase in New York, the only music played in the studio other than that of Steve Reich was Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. Thirty-five years later, the choreographer has continued her work with this work, presenting it with her company Rosas in March 2019 at the Palais Garnier, revealing a clearly codified choreographic writing, in tune with Bach's music.
