The Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has always been known for her sensitivity to music, visualizing sound in ways both mathematical and mystical. But in her 2013 “Vortex Temporum,” she delves more deeply than ever into the relationship between music and movement, musician and dancer.
An interpretation of Gérard Grisey’s score of the same name, “Vortex Temporum” brings together seven dancers of her company, Rosas, and seven members of the contemporary music ensemble Ictus, setting them all in motion (even the grand piano dances) on a stripped-down stage. This intimate conversation between choreographer and composer seemed to merit a conversation between critics versed in different ways of listening and looking.
