Description
Antre was conceived as a stage composition more than as a choreographic composition, as an overlapping of movements, of moving pictures, of space, of sound, of memory, of light and of the movement of light. Rudi Van der Merwe traces unceasingly evolving paths. Sliding through these different materials, he evokes a static passage through multiple landscapes. The poetic tonality of the solo is tainted with solitude, with melancoly, and is inscribed in a hollow where time is treated as a material and settles onto the body in movement.
The memory of one thing becomes the dream of another.

Description
In Nodal, the composition is radically based on the idea of a volume which moves and transforms itself slowly, thus modelling the body as though the body carried within itself the memory of a boulder.
From there, Cindy Van Acker tries to place the corporal language at the place where the movement can pass from abstraction to realism. The movement is situated at a breaking point where it can retain its inherent quality and still access a different tonality.
