Work/Travail/Arbeid
What would it mean for choreography to perform as an exhibition? This question was the point of departure for Work/Travail/Arbeid. In response, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker reimagined her piece Vortex Temporum for the radically different temporal, spatial, and perceptual conditions of a museum-like environment. The choreographer did not simply bring a dance performance into a new kind of space, but rethought it as a nine weeks long exhibition, continuously accessible to the public. The original choreography made for the condensed time and space of a stage performance was thus entirely reinvented so as to extend itself across a new time and space. This project transformed the conditions that have long been essential to dance and gave a new form to the rigorous choreographic writing for which De Keersmaeker is known.
