Dance: Wim Vandekeybus & Ultima Vez at the KVS

Twenty years after his first debut performance, and many creations later, Wim Vandekeybus and his Ultima Vez dance group will present an evening of "the best of" his work, to the title "Spiegel". Together with nine dancers he looks into the mirror to find the essence of his language of movement. The performance is also organised with the KVS.

"At the end of 1986 Wim Vandekeybus withdrew to Madrid with a group of young and inexperienced performers. Nine months later What The Body Does not Remember opened. Dancers tossed bricks into the air and then remained standing until someone pulled them away and caught the brick as it fell. Risk, conflict, strength, energy, instinct and repulsion are always key themes in Wim Vandekeybus' work. Over the years however, important existential themes such as fear, life and death have also appeared in his work."
