Mystery Sonatas/ For Rosa
Music and geometry have always been central to the work of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. In Mystery Sonatas / For Rosa, these interests form a bond through the symbol of the rose, which often represents secrecy and mystery. The rose also stands for resistance—with every rose comes its thorns. The dancing body, as an individual or a community, becomes an act of resistance. Written around 1676 by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, the Mystery Sonatas is a musical translation of the Sacred Mysteries of the life of the Virgin Mary. Composed for religious practice, these sonatas assisted the recitation of the rosary beads and are divided into three cycles: five joyful, five sorrowful, and five glorious sonatas.
