Rain

The Rain, one of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s most spectacular ballets, set to Steve Reich’s minimalist score from 1976 “Music for 18 Musicians” premiered in 2001 at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, in Brussels. Inspired by Kirsty Gunn’s haunting novel “Rain” the choreographer created an intense emotional ballet without retelling the original tale. The dancers walk, run, fall, creating a sensation of waterfall and dramatic scenes intensified by Jan Versweyveld’s mesmerizing set design. The live music performed by the Ensemble Ictus and the Synergy Vocals, just as exceptionally choreographed as the dance performance itself, was composed for four female voices and several instruments, including violin, cello, clarinet, piano and keyboard percussion instruments (marimbas, xylophones and vibraphone) to create a perfect harmony between music and dance.
