Sinopsis
Thierry De Mey filmed Rosas danst Rosas in the former technical school of architect Henry Van de Velde in Leuven. The film version is much shorter than the show itself. In his film Thierry De Mey opts for a heavily ‘inter-cut’ version in which, apart from the cast of four dancers from 1995 and 1996, he also has all the other performers from the long history of the show dance along. He makes maximum use of the geometrical and spatial qualities of the Van de Veldes building. Incidentally, the building was thoroughly renovated straight after the film was made, making it one of the last testimonials to the original architecture. The film was shown on all of the major European television channels and also had a cinema career in the ‘art house circuit’.
Historia sobre una competición de "cheerleaders". Las animadoras del equipo de los "Toro" tienen una coreografía explosiva para hacerse con el trofeo del campeonato nacional. Pero para la nueva capitana el camino a la victoria se tuerce cuando descubre que esta misma coreografía ha sido robada de las animadoras de los "Clover" por la capitana previa. Mientras que ellas desesperadamente buscan una nueva coreografía, las "Clover", con Isis al mando, tienen sus propios problemas: deben conseguir bastante dinero para cubrir los gastos de desplazamiento al campeonato. La tensión sube, el tiempo se agota y ambas capitanas dejan sus equipos exhaustos. Sólo uno puede llevar el trofeo a casa, que ganen las que mejor se menean.

This new Christmas ballet film was conceived by Matthew Bourne and directed by his long standing film collaborator Ross MacGibbon. The film celebrates Bourne's power to imaginatively transform ballet, taking dance and dancers off the stage into studio, bringing together projections, animation, and an intimate shooting style to produce a distinctive new way of presenting dance on screen. Those who know Bourne's stage work will spot extracts from many of his biggest hits (including Swan Lake, Edward Scissorhands, and Nutcracker!), but for audiences less familiar with his work this is simply a journey through a series of magical worlds where stories are told through dance.
