‘Premiere of Rosas’ Zeitung in Paris: thundering applause’

‘The premiere of Rosas’ newest creation, Zeitung, took place in the Théâtre de la ville, Paris. It was a triumph.’

‘The most amazing of all is each dancer's strong presence. That is what makes Zeitung an aesthetic masterpiece, as well as an enchanting work.’

Jean Marie Wijnants – Le Soir – 14/01/08

‘There is this tremendous, omnipresent energy. A certain tension as well, thoroughly positive, like fluid circulating in their bodies. We are taken from dark moments to happy and vivid flights of fancy that are at times even funny. And we get a strange sensation of vertigo when we see this pure dance, balancing on the razor’s edge.’

Guy Duplat – La Libre Belgique – 15/01/08

‘(…) More than ever, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker returns to music and grace. Everything the Flemish choreographer touches has beauty and class in abundance.’

‘A simplicity made visible because of the harmony surrounding it.’

‘Pianist Alain Franco, who selected the music, performs Bach live with tremendous energy and tension.’

Rosita Boisseau – Le Monde – 17/01/08

‘The Flemish choreographer’s show at the Théâtre de la Ville, Paris, is a pure delight!’

‘Zeitung is dedicated to Gérard Violette (…) a beautiful gift!’
