Do we still have four seasons?
A response to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons ―
In an age of climate change, Rosas offers a quiet yet profound inquiry into nature and music.

A new work by world-renowned choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, recipient of the 2025 Prince Takamatsu Memorial World Culture Prize, and rising star Radwan Muridiga, inspired by Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. First presented in 2024 and becoming a Rosas favourite, this production finally makes its Japanese debut.

De Keersmaeker constructs choreography based on rigorous musical analysis, while Murijiga conjures movement from silence. The leaps, turns and rotations of four dancers unfold in resonance with celestial orbits and the cycles of life. Accompanied by a hymn to nature echoing from the Mediterranean some 300 years ago, the work poetically interrogates the reality of climate change we now face, while renewing the relationship between structure and the body.

“90 minutes of carefully constructed dance geometry, at once nonchalant and cerebral.”

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
In 1980, after studying dance at Mudra School in Brussels and Tisch School of the Arts in New York, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (b. 1960) created Asch, her first choreographic work. Two years later came the premiere of Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich. De Keersmaeker established the dance company Rosas in Brussels in 1983, while creating the work Rosas danst Rosas. Since these breakthrough pieces, her choreography has been grounded in a rigorous and prolific exploration of the relationship between dance and music. She has created with Rosas a wide-ranging body of work engaging the musical structures and scores of several periods, from early music to contemporary and popular idioms. Her choreographic practice also draws formal principles from geometry, numerical patterns, the natural world, and social structures to offer a unique perspective on the body’s articulation in space and time. In 1995 De Keersmaeker established the school P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios) in Brussels in association with De Munt/La Monnaie.

Radouan Mriziga
Choreographer and dancer Radouan Mriziga (Morocco, 1985) studied dance in Marrakech and Tunisia, and at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels, from which he graduated in 2012. Since then, he worked on several productions, including Half Eleven Summer Night by Bart Meuleman (Toneelhuis), Re:Zeitung (P.A.R.T.S. Foundation and De Munt) for which a young generation of professional dancers reworked Rosas/Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s Zeitung, Primitive by Claire Croizé, People in a Field by Simon Tanguy and Becoming by Youness Khoukhou. From 2014 onwards he started creating his own work for which he received support from Moussem Nomadic Arts Centre until 2019. After his first solo, 55, he created a group piece, entitled 3600, in 2016, followed by 7 in 2017. In 2017, Radouan Mriziga became an artist in residence at Kaaitheater in Brussels. In 2019, he created a performance for young dancers, 8.2., in collaboration with Moussem, het paleis and fABULEUS. In 2021, Radouan Mriziga became artist in residence at deSingel in Antwerp. Recent performances include Atlas, Libya, Akal, Ayur and Tafukt. Creation 2024 is Radouan Mriziga’s second collaboration with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. He established the A7LA5 in 2020. The choreographers previously worked together on 3IRD5 @ W9RK (2020), created for the garden of La Maison des Arts in Brussels.
