The Forsythe Company - Decreation

The Forsythe Company Decreation

Feelings of tenderness and rage pulse throughout William Forsythe’s award-winning Decreation, which was choreographed in 2003 for Ballet Frankfurt, inspired by an essay by Canadian poet Anne Carson.

“Dialogues, characters and physical commands migrate through the dancers; a rapid, slithering switch from body to body. Sound is transformed, weeps and soars through the dancers’ throats and bodies, which move in a constant, oblique tension. All communication is mediated, detoured, in a seamless flow of configuration, displacement, vacuum and vision. The piece re-forms itself continually around three questions which tell of the progression of the soul. From three parts, to two parts, to one” Dana Caspersen.
