Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker takes a further step in her exploration of the fusion betwen of music and dance. This time her starting point is the Ars Subtilior: a complex and intellectual form of polyphonic music from the 14th century that is based on dissonance and contrast. Ars Subtilior grew up on the ruins of the plague and the Church when the political and religious pillars of mediaeval society were fragmenting. Nowadays, this upheaval seems more relevant than ever. In the light of today’s increasingly confusing events and the complexity of the choices we face, the question of our mortality and physicality is becoming ever more crucial.
