Es War Einmal

The show

Un jour la nuit is the extension of a triptych, which consists in a solo, ‘Arie-Antich’, for which the choreographer and the performer were one and the same, followed by ‘Cahier’ for a tro of men and finally by Katamênia, full of fragility and tension, designed for four women.
After this journey through the notion of male and female, Michèle Anne De Mey has now turned her talents to the relationships between men and women.

Three couples evolve along the theme of passion.
This dance show is also a narration. The six performers tell the oldest story in the world.
A story they were telling before seasons had been invented, when day and night were still one.

Three night of love lead to the impossibility of loving, to the taboo of fantastic love.
When she comes, you will be sleeping…

By choosing the ‘ Lieder eines fahrender Gesellen’ and the first three movements of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony n°1 ‘Der Titan’, Michèle Anne De Mey has found a musical colour that matches her definition of passion to perfection.
This is the perfect fulfilment for Mahler, a composer of devastation passion, in joy and in pain alike.
The complicity between partition and choreography is almost osmotic and Michèle Anne De Mey takes on the full range of classic, almost romantic options that go against the general trend of modern dance.
