EXIT ABOVE - After the Tempest @ SIDC

EXIT ABOVE - After the Tempest marks the Asian premiere of Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's acclaimed contemporary dance work.
De Keersmaeker, a leading figure in minimalist dance, takes walking as the primary movement form, drawing inspiration from Robert Johnson's blues classic 'Walking Blues.'
The performance features live music and dance by young singer-songwriter Meskerem Mees and guitarist Carlos Garbin, with sound design by the late Jean-Marie Aerts.
Since its 2023 Brussels premiere, the work has toured major European festivals including Festival d'Avignon, Lyon Dance Biennale, and Sadler's Wells in London.
Continuing De Keersmaeker's lifelong exploration of the dialogue between dance and music, critics have praised its swirling choreography, punchy rhythms, and liberating energy.
Presented as part of the 25th China Shanghai International Arts Festival, the production is supported by Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.
