Wim Vandekeybus / Ultima Vez

20 years after founding Ultima Vez and the premiere of his first creation/Bessie Award winning production What the Body Does Not Remember, Wim Vandekeybus has composed Spiegel, a collage of remarkable scenes from his early works as well as more recent productions, reworked and re-explored with a cast of nine both new and established company performers.

Far more than an anthology, Spiegel is a journey in search of the essence of Vandekeybus’s movement idiom: a retrospective of the energy and emotions at the base of his creations.
