A Love Supreme

dance
09—10.09.2017

The album A Love Supreme by saxophonist John Coltrane is brimming with explosive energy and expressivity. The recording – which was completed in one extensive take – accompanied by the trio who had been with Coltrane for years: McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrisson on bass and Elvin Jones on drums. Their music is still considered one of the greatest milestones in jazz history.

In 2005, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker collaborated with Salva Sanchis to create a quartet set to Coltrane’s musical composition. With a new cast of young performers, De Keersmaeker and Sanchis have reworked A Love Supreme to create an exceptionally vital, evening-length performance.

Four male dancers seize the interplay between the four musicians in Coltrane’s quartet. Their movements and the music converge seamlessly, but the freedom that both the music and the dancers exude will transport you into an unforgettable delirium. Never before have you received such clear insight into Coltrane’s complex improvisations.

• Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is the founder of the Rosas dance company, with which she garnered global fame. Twenty years ago, she founded her own dance school, PARTS, in Brussels. Salva Sanchis was among the first generation of students who graduated from PARTS. His work focuses on the dialogue between improvisation and predetermined movements. His last production, Radical Light, was selected for this year’s TheaterFestival.

“Eens de muziek losbarst, laat de structuur van de dans je letterlijk zien hoe de muziek zich ontwikkelt vanuit elementaire cellen.” — uit het Juryrapport

“Thomas Vantuycom als incarnatie van Coltrane  is zo expressief en slagkrachtig, dat hij bijna van de scène spat.” – De Standaard
