The legendary choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker returned to Sadler’s Wells on Friday night (22 May), but her new show left some of the London audience nonplussed. Partita 2, a duet performed with fellow choreographer Boris Charmatz, began with unaccompanied violinist Amandine Beyer playing Bach’s Partita No.2 in total darkness (punctuated only by the occasional hiss of a beer can and the blinding light of a phone). The black-clad dancers then proceeded to chuck the odd pirouette into a performance that resembled the bleep test. Reactions were mixed, with verdicts ranging from “wonderful” to “very bad”. Perhaps the best moment came in a brief encore, when De Keersmaeker’s expressive movements to Beyer’s music concluded with the dancer “catching” the final note and blowing it towards the audience like a kiss.
