They are timeless and recall the energy and radicalness that mark the emergence of a personal style. In 1982, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker entered the international stage of contemporary dance with <em>Fase<\/em>, a performance in four movements choreographed to the \u201cearly pieces\u201d of Steve Reich.<br>Today, for the first time, De Keersmaeker turns to the early works of another <strong>American minimalist composer: Philip Glass.<\/strong> This music, as radical as that of the young Reich, stands out through a paradoxical blend of hyper-formalism and an invitation to trance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Music in Contrary Motion, Music in Fifths, Music in Similar Motion, Music with Changing Parts<\/em>: the pieces chosen by De Keersmaeker all date from 1969\u20131970, a particularly productive period in Glass\u2019s oeuvre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <em>GLA55<\/em>, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker returns to a guiding principle that has run through her entire career: <strong>exhausting minimal abstract material to the maximum<\/strong>. This involves notions of trance, repetitive obsessive turning, and spinning. Circles, spirals, and ellipses become the central geometric figures of this piece in <strong>ten movements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this occasion, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker brings together<strong> six Rosas dancers<\/strong> with <strong>seven musicians from the Ictus Ensemble<\/strong> &#8211; longtime partners, in their sixteenth joint project- and the<strong> Bl!ndman Ensemble<\/strong>. Together, they showcase their shared approach to the music of Philip Glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>GLA55 has a duration of 55 minutes and is presented in two different versions: as a blackbox performance, or in a standing circular configuration. Both can be performed either with recorded music or live with six musicians<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17898,"parent":0,"template":"","production_location":[35],"production_type":[44],"class_list":["post-17901","production","type-production","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","production_location-venue","production_type-dance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>GLA55 - Frans Brood Productions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fransbrood.com\/en\/productions\/gla55\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"GLA55 - Frans Brood Productions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"10 movements to the music of Philip GlassAnne Teresa De Keersmaeker \/ Rosas, Ictus, Bl!ndman The early works of certain artists often carry a very distinct tonality.
