Insomnia — live performances by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and pianist Alain Franco — is presented alongside the exhibition As you wish by De Keersmaeker and visual artist Steven Fillet at Xavier Hufkens.
A site-specific project responding to the architecture by Robbrecht & Daem, the performances are inspired by J.S. Bach’s The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988. More than a musical score, Bach’s work is a blueprint for De Keersmaeker’s entire oeuvre: a system of repetition and differentiation in which choreographic labour unfolds as a continuous circling around the same (meta)physical questions and (ma)thematical figures.
Registration is required. Admission is free with limited capacity.
