ZOO’s choreographic creation on Maurice Ravel’s “La Valse” presented with live orchestra as part of “Equi Voci”
Created by the director and composer Thierry De Mey, “Equi Voci” is a polyptych combining several pieces of orchestral music accompanied by films of dance edited in real time. The original model for this multi-faceted work, “Ma Mère l’Oye”, has recently been supplemented by “Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune”, a new piece based on a choreography by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and shot in the spectral setting of a dried-up Aral Sea. As third and last part of this ambitious project, Thierry De Mey dreams of creating a filmic version of the choreography that Thomas Hauert has created on Maurice Ravel’s “La Valse” for his last performance “Accords”. To complement the presentation of the first two parts of “Equi Voci” in Charleroi/Danses on 27th November 2009, and as anticipation of the “La Valse” film projected to be realized in June 2010, 8 dancers of ZOO will perform this piece live with the Brussels Philharmonic - Vlaams Radio Orkest.
