ONCE

ONCE by Rosas (Belgium). A record player, a chair, a thermos flask - and dancer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. An old vinyl record Joan Baez in concert, 1963. The dancer wears a blue dress, like the one worn by the singer on the cover. She turns on the record player - a plea from the past, directed towards the present. Created before the war against Iraq, ONCE is a manifesto, the Belgian choreographer's touching statement against arrogance, destruction and war.
