Inspired by myths and stories about the killing of infants and innocents, Vandekeybus creates a timeless, fictional, yet universal story about living in isolation, the alienation of the outside world and about loss and the pain that it brings. Who is the saviour of our world? Who is the prophet today and what does he proclaim? Is the Messiah a hero or a coward? Innovatively combining video and film with the story that is being played out on stage, a dialogue between reality and the virtual evolves...
