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.
