In EXIT ABOVE, Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker explores walking as a primary form of movement and the tension between marching together and stepping out alone.
The starting point for the performance is the song “Walking Blues” by legendary blues artist Robert Johnson. The journey then leads back to "Der Wanderer" by Schubert, the best-known composer of the 19th century.
Meskerem Mees, a Flemish singer songwriter with Ethiopian roots, performs other variations of ‘walking songs’, composed together with Jean-Marie Aerts, sound architect of TC Matic, and with dancer and guitarist Carlos Garbin.
