Au milieu follows the final weeks of rehearsal of au Milieu de nous dans la Vie, the performance by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, her company Rosas and violoncelliste Jean-Guihen Queyras, based on the six cello suites by Johann Sebastian Bach. The film offers de intimate glance into De Keersmaeker s meticulous methodology, in which a choreographic universe is built up through a careful study of composition musicale. This intense creative process of continuously reshaping and honing, characterised by De Keersmaeker s inexhaustible longing for precision and détail, is reflected in the filmmakers’ patient look at the work of the choreographer, the musician and dancers.
