Ultima Vez / Wim Vandekeybus / Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui

Based on a short story by Paul Bowles, Wim Vandekeybus created the solo ›it‹ for and with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, a dancer and choreographer with the Belgian choreographers collective, Les Ballets C. de la B. Accompanied by film work by Vandekeybus', both choreographers' very specific movement languages meet, influence each other and melt into one striking entity.

»The monastery stood on a slight eminence of land in the middle of a vast clearing... No one from the village went up through the gap to visit the monastery. The Atlájala lived there. It always had lived there, they said, and would go on living there because the valley was its home, and it could never leave.« Paul Bowles, The Circular Valley
