« Everything begins with a slow sliding motion. Words fall apart to create new ones and their meaning is lost. The thread of thought is abandoned. And then comes the fall of a body that never ends, a fall reminiscent of a flight.
The soloist dancer is Michèle Anne De Mey and AMOR is a choreographic and visual journey to the other side of the mirror. Inspired by the world of Lewis Carroll, this production takes the audience into an imaginary, poetic and luminous fall. »

Astragales is a contemporary dance company led by Belgian choreographer Michèle Anne De Mey. First set up in 1989, Astragales has an international reputation although it is firmly rooted in its native Belgium. Michèle Anne De Mey works with a contemporary dance style interacting with other disciplines with the help of strong partnerships and long-standing friendships, as well as new encounters.
“The power of her experience makes the dancer beautiful and proud, calm and serene. A state of grace sublimated by the eyes of her director lover, who makes it clear that Amor is stronger than death.”
“"Amor" translates the unheard-of into a succession of tableaux in which Jaco's creativity in images marries Michèle Anne's gesture: at times pure and joyful, at others suspended in dizzying scenes of levitation, at others overwhelmingly fragile.”
“A unique experience for choreographer and dancer Michèle Anne De Mey. Her partner Jaco Van Dormael was at the service of her emotions...”
“We dance in levitation, borrowing from the new magic.”
