Hoppla!

In Hoppla!, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker presents two choreographies that showcase the beauty of dance. The film features performances set to Béla Bartók's compositions, including Mikrokosmos and Quatuor no. 4. The unique setting of the Ghent University library, designed by architect Henry Van de Velde, adds a notable visual element to the dance performances.

With a runtime of 52 minutes, Hoppla! captures the essence of contemporary dance while highlighting the synergy between music and movement. The inclusion of Fumiyo Ikeda in the cast contributes to the film's exploration of these choreographies. Collecting this documentary offers a glimpse into the creative process of one of dance's influential figures and the aesthetic appeal of Bartók's music paired with De Keersmaeker's choreography.
