In this film, Wim Vandekeybus, a prominent choreographer of the Belgian scene in recent years, dances the last scene of a solo choreographed for him by Jan Fabre - another outstanding Belgian director, choreographer, and visual artist. Wim Vandekeybus was Jan Fabre's dancer before he also became a choreographer. They jointly direct this film. In it, Vandekeybus expresses the following idea: "The body, which is at the same time outlined and exposed on stage, is aware of being exploited, and is protesting against this fact." Constant tension, a visual reading of the relation of the body and space, interesting use of the new digital image media. [ back to the list ]
