Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
Radouan Mriziga
In 2027, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels™ and the Sydney Festival present in collaboration Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione, by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Radouan Mrizigade as part of the Festival in Sydney.
In this piece, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Radouan Mriziga set out to explore Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. The starting point for this new choreographic work is the exquisite recording of Vivaldi’s composition by virtuosic violinist and long-time Rosas collaborator Amandine Beyer and her ensemble Gli Incogniti.
In Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione, multiple strands come together to create a unique choreographic language. The piece aims to return to the core, the structure of Vivaldi’s famous composition and the many associations and emotions it evokes, while offering a choreographic counterpoint to it. At the same time the dance underscores that there may be something contemplative to be found in The Four Seasons, in its familiarity, and in the familiarity of nature.
