A Love Supreme (2017) – Salva Sanchis, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker / Rosas

A Love Supreme is a quartet choreographed by Salva Sanchis and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in which four performers dance to the eponymous piece of music by John Coltrane, a highlight of twentieth-century jazz. In A Love Supreme, highly intuitive free expression emerges from blues-based, rather straightforward musical structures; the work is renowned for its exploration of the tension between tonal and rhythmical complexity and simplicity. This is translated literally in the dance: the choreographers bring together improvised and composed materials, interweaving and absorbing them into one another.
