TRACES – A DANCED CONCERT

In his latest production entitled TRACES, Wim Vandekeybus follows the traces he has left. He looks back on the intuitions from whence his search began: to the drama of impulses and instincts; to the game of energies and intensities.

In 2019 Europalia will partner with Romania, a country with a fascinating history and vibrant cultural scene. It's also home to the last primaeval forests in Europe. 

 

Romania's extraordinary natural beauty is the inspiration for KVS face Wim Vandekeybus's latest creation, TRACES. Wim sets out in a search for fragments older than man and memory, for the inner story, the one that takes place before or beyond language, and which can only be told through the immense power of dance and music. 

 

The music is written by Trixie Whitley (who also made the music for TrapTown) in collaboration with Marc Ribot (who composed the soundtrack for Inasmuch as Life is Borrowed and Vandekeybus' full-length film debut Galopping Mind), Shahzad Ismaily, Ben Perowsky and Daniel Mintseris. They are joined on stage by ten dancers. Together they create a unique live experience.
