Can a choreography be presented in the form of an exhibition? This question forms the basis of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s latest project. The theatre and the museum are distinguished from one another by their conditions of space, time and perception. A dance show deals with time (that of the spectator, that of the performer) as an experience with a given start and a given end point; in contrast, an exhibition is rarely experienced for the entirety of its duration. The reflection on this difference has led Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker to use Vortex Temporum (2013) – a Rosas show particularly concerned with time – as the basis for Work/Travail/Arbeid. The choreography has been reinvented for a nine-week exhibition that can be seen continually during WIELS’ opening hours. Questioning the protocol of the museum as much as that of performing arts, Work/Travail/Arbeid invites the spectator to share the space-time of dancers and musicians at work .
