N.N.N.N. (2002), Quintett (1993) and One Flat Thing, reproduced (2000): these three works from the U.S. master allow us to dive into William Forsythe’s complex universe. N.N.N.N., a quartet for four male dancers that explores the different combinations of the human anatomy — producing a counterpoint of movements and sounds, like a kind of living percussion. Quintett, an intimate, dark work, which has the dancers spinning to Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet by Gavin Bryars, using all the variations possible between the five dancers. And One Flat Thing, reproduced, a vast abstract work, bordering on an art installation, that allows Forsythe to play a game of breathtaking combinations: a choreographic fugue for 14 dancers and 20 tables.

N.N.N.N.
