“An emotionally-charged showdown… 20 years of creativity in a masterful work, brimming with power and vitality. For all those who discover the universe of Wim Vandekeybus for the first time, Spiegelwill be like a body blow.” —Le Soir (Belgium)
Games are played: a dancer throws a stone in the air and remains under
it until another dancer pulls or pushes him away, catching the stone.
Every movement requires absolutely precise timing, and the dancers’
inexhaustible energy physically impacts viewers, setting them on the edge
of their seats. Since his sensational 1987 debut, Belgian dancemaker Wim
Vandekeybus and his company Ultima Vez ("The Last Time") has stunned
audiences and critics alike with risk-taking choreography. Now, 20 years
later, with almost as many inspired creations to his credit, Vandekeybus
presents Spiegel, a powerful, erotic work in which he looks in the mirror for
inspiration from his entire oeuvre, pushing Ultima Vez to its limits in a fusion
of live action, film, and music seething with emotion and sensuality.
The score includes works by David Byrne. This program contains nudity.
