This is achieved not by recording the dances step-by-step, but by considering them from a totally different perspective: the filmic point-of-view. However, in this case, perhaps one shouldn’t speak of “film-adaptation”. While these productions use De Keersmaeker’s stage performances as inspiration, they are nevertheless fully autonomous works that deserve to be looked at as films in their own right.
