Stefaan Decostere

A short documentary about the creation process of Rosas danst Rosas, the performance that forced Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s international breakthrough and has become a benchmark in the history of postmodern dance. This documentary, directed by Stefaan Decostere for the BRT cultural programme Het Gerucht [The Rumour, ed.], uses fragments of rehearsals and interviews with De Keersmaeker and composer Thierry De Mey, offering a glimpse of the choreographic creative process in which repeated abstract movements play a key role.

A programme which is emblematic of our proposition. It deals with the metaphores developed by Walter Benjamin regarding the time spent loafing and the cinematographic language which the producer uses in his fiction, a demonstration of all the technical and conceptual possibilities offered by the new language which television is.
