Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Solal Mariotte
Belgium – France / Created in 2025 / First time in France
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and upcoming choreographer and dancer Solal Mariotte embrace Jacques Brel’s songs in an intense duet inspired by the poetry and the extraordinary stage presence and gestural expressivity of the Belgian artist.
How does one dance to the iconic songs of Jacques Brel, whose music transcends generations? Taking up this challenge are Solal Mariotte, a promising French dancer and choreographer, and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, the renowned Belgian Flemish choreographer. Following EXIT ABOVE, presented at the Festival d’Avignon in 2023, the Flemish-Belgian choreographer shares the stage for the first time with the young French dancer, also coming from the breakdance, to embody these songs that were never meant to be danced. Together, the two artists explore the powerful poetry, expressiveness, and mannerisms of the Belgian singer through this performance set in the majestic space of the Carrière Boulbon.
