Rosas Danst Rosas

About This Movie

Rosas Danst Rosas captures the raw energy of dance in a unique setting, the former technical school in Leuven. Thierry De Mey's vision strips the performance down to its core, using a fragmented, inter-cut editing style that breathes a different life into the choreography. The dancers, who were part of a 1995-1996 ensemble, are presented with an almost clinical precision, their movements punctuated by the rhythms of the score. The atmosphere is stark yet vibrant, reflecting the tension and release inherent in the dance itself. It’s a fascinating exploration of form and space, showcasing how the performers engage not just with each other, but with the environment around them. You really feel the pulse of the performance in the way the film unfolds.
