The Rosas company presents “Rosas danst Rosas (Rosas Dances Rosas)” by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker at the Théâtre Les Halles in Sierre. The performance takes place on Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 7 pm.
The story
The piece was created in 1983 by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Adriana Borriello, Michèle Anne De Mey and Fumiyo Ikeda. It is a landmark of postmodern dance. It extends the minimalist approach of “Fase” (1982).
In 1983 it was read as a feminist manifesto. Four dancers commit themselves to it relentlessly. The repetitive score by Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch was composed during rehearsals.
Thierry De Mey filmed the piece in 1997. Since 1983 it has been performed nearly 500 times by 28 dancers from five generations. The 2026 revival features a new cast.
Born in 1960 in Mechelen, Belgium, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker founded Rosas in 1983. She received the Venice Biennale Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2015.
Who organises it
The Théâtre Les Halles in Sierre hosts the performance. The venue occupies the former building of a metal construction company. Its stage is open to theatre, dance, music and circus. Rosas produces the show, with support from Van Cleef & Arpels for this revival.
What to find
Four performers dance the piece, Jasmine Achtari, Eva Galmel, Nina Godderis and Momiji Kuromaru. The choreography blends abstract movement, repetition and everyday gestures.
The recorded music features Thierry De Mey, Walter Hus, Eric Sleichim and Peter Vermeersch. Lighting is by Remon Fromont.
