William Forsythe galvanized the dance world and was catapulted into the international spotlight with his dynamic approach to the art form.

The works Of Any If And (1995), 12 N (2021) and One Flat Thing, reproduced (2000) are accompanied by music composed by Forsythe’s longtime collaborator Thom Willems.
