You might associate Ultima Vez with exuberance: a whirlwind of dancers, actors, impressive décors and towering video screens. This performance will be … different. During the creation of Infamous Offspring, a grandiose performance full of mythical figures, Void already started to take shape in Wim Vandekeybus’ head: a return to ‘less’, to ‘smaller’, to ‘empty’ – but just as valuable. 

In his latest creation, Vandekeybus seeks emptiness. He begins again, goes back to the start, and takes simple emptiness as the departure point from which to reach a new kind of perception. He tries to sense existence and life in new ways, but he also wants to add new value to the performance. By looking with new eyes, in total simplicity.

“Earth was shapeless and empty; in the depths only darkness.”

Genesis 1:2,2
