Iconic choreography sets Reich's minimalism in motion

After the success of Mozart / Concert Arias, De Keersmaeker is again reviving an iconic work together with the dancers of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen. Rain is a choreography from 2001 that unites two of De Keersmaeker’s great loves: pure dance and the minimalist music of Steve Reich. An impressive succession of virtuoso dance phrases unfolds to Reich's pulsating tones, as De Keersmaeker's characteristic, uncompromising signature and the unstoppable energy of the dancers drive the piece to its climax.
