Ultima Vez (Wim Vanderkeybus) : Spiegel April 19, 2008

Spiegel : Composed evening / 20 years Ultima Vez

-------

In the powerful, erotic work Spiegel, Wim Vandekeybus looks in the mirror, pushing his troupe, Ultima Vez, beyond their limits. Not for the fainthearted, Spiegel is a powerful fusion of live action, film and music that seethes with energy, danger, emotion and sensuality. The score includes works by David Byrne. This program contains nudity.

“For all those who discover the universe of Wim Vandekeybus for the first time, Spiegel will be like a body blow. The rolls, the jumps, the fights, the throwing of bricks, the bodies suspended in mid air have lost nothing of their vital energy, their force at the edge of rupture.” –Le Soir

Ultima Vez was founded in 1986 as the company and organisation of choreographer, director and filmmaker Wim Vandekeybus.
Since its foundation, Ultima Vez has intensively developed its activities as an international contemporary dance company with a strong base in Brussels and Flanders.

While, during the first years, Ultima Vez focussed mainly on the production, promotion and distribution of the artistic work of Wim Vandekeybus (dance, theatre, film), the organisation has integrated many other activities.

Ultima Vez has always functioned as an autonomous and independent structure, relying however on a network of co-producers and partners to realise its projects.
