Antre is conceived as a stage composition rather than a choreographic composition, like an overlapping of movements, moving images, space, sound and memory, light and the movement of light. Rudi van der Merwe draws paths that evolve ceaselessly. Encircled by different materials, he evokes a static crossing of various landscapes. The poetic tone of the solo is marked by solitude, melancholy and inscribes itself in a lair (antre) were time is worked like a material and settles itself on the body and its movement. The memory of one thing becomes the dream of another.
