Women», extrait de la chorégraphie «Continu» de Sasha Waltz
Six danseuses et un solo de percussionniste sont au cœur de l’époustouflante chorégraphie «Women», conçue par Sasha Waltz sur une musique de Iannis Xenakis. Il s’agit de l’ouverture du spectacle « Continu », dans lequel la chorégraphe allemande revisite des éléments issus des deux volets de Dialog 09, un projet qu’elle avait concocté à l’occasion de l’inauguration de deux musées : le Neues Museum de Berlin reconstruit sous la direction de David Chipperfield, et le musée MAXXI des arts du XXIe siècle de Rome conçu par Zaha Hadid.
Depuis la création de « Continu » au Schauspielhaus de Zurich en 2010, Sasha Waltz a remanié plusieurs fois sa chorégraphie avant d’en présenter une version définitive à Salzbourg à l’été 2011. La séquence « Women » avait tenu un rôle important dans ses deux grands projets de 2009, à Rome et à Berlin.

ONE FLAT THING REPRODUCED
“One Flat Thing Reproduced " is a play for 14 dancers and 20 tables
on the music of Thom Willems. The World Premiere took place in Frankfurt
in 2000 and it was presented at the Palais de Chaillot last July.
Unanimously acclaimed by the press, this work with a great theatrical
intensity oscillates between disorder and symmetry. This very powerful
creation gives rise today to a new work "One Flat Thing Reproduced".
Directed by Thierry de Mey - one of the most important directors of
dance films- designed this film as a full work. The theatrical
disposition was studied especially for the shooting, permitting three
cameras to shoot the action from different points of view. He catches
choreographic principles developed by Forsythe. The way he shoots,
touched by the looks and the exchanges between the dancers, permits to
have clear the complexity of creation. Thus, appear very evidently : the
aesthetical beauty of shapes, the intensity of the movements and also
the human side, thanks to the exchanges of looks. This new experience
offers the audience the possibility of receiving this creation in a
complete different way : emotionally as well as intellectualy.
