The crumbling of the seasons

What does Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, a huge Baroque classic, have to do with the current climate catastrophe? Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker explores this question in her new work Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione, which she developed with Moroccan choreographer Radouan Mriziga and the Belgian dance company Rosas. The ensemble piece scrutinizes the disturbing developments in the relationship between humans and nature and the changes that accompany them: Do four seasons even still exist in our part of the world? At the same time, the dancers’ performance is also intended to evoke a sense of familiarity with the four seasons and a strong contemplative component that invites the audience to reflect and turn inward.
