Rain

A gorgeous logic prevails in Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s Rain, a minimalist dance with a flagrantly emotional heart. Propelled by Steve Reich’s 1976 breakthrough, Music for 18 Musicians, ten dancers fill the stage with spiraling, rushing movement as changeable as the weather. And as always with De Keersmaeker, the decor – in this instance, a half-circle of dangling ropes pours from the sky – subtly enhances the work’s tone.
