Plot.
Thierry De Mey filmed Rosas danst Rosas in the former technical school of architect Henry Van de Velde in Leuven. The film version is much shorter than the show itself. In his film Thierry De Mey opts for a heavily ‘inter-cut’ version in which, apart from the cast of four dancers from 1995 and 1996, he also has all the other performers from the long history of the show dance along. He makes maximum use of the geometrical and spatial qualities of the Van de Veldes building. Incidentally, the building was thoroughly renovated straight after the film was made, making it one of the last testimonials to the original architecture. The film was shown on all of the major European television channels and also had a cinema career in the ‘art house circuit’.

Rosas danst Rosas (lit. translation: Roses Dances Roses) is a contemporary dance choreographed by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. It premiered as part of the Kaaitheater Festival in May, 1983 at the Théâtre de la Balsamine, Brussels. Originally created with and danced by four dancers (Adriana Borriello, Fumiyo Ikeda, Michèle Anne De Mey, and Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker), it is now performed by a rotating cast from Rosas (the dance company formed by de Keersmaeker in 1983).
