Draw from within
Wim Vandekeybus • CREATION
The dizziness in a world turned upside down ingeniously rendered visual by a choreographer and filmmaker at the peak of his art.
Wim Vandekeybus is a key figure of the Movida in Brussels, renowned for his choreography artfully combined with dramatic and cinematographic features. Working as a guest artist with the Ballet Rambert in London, regularly seen at the Théâtre de la Ville, he has developed a kaleidoscopic fresco, a visual depiction of the vertigo felt by everyone to differing degrees in the world turned upside down by the pandemic. Birth and death, violence and media frenzy, celebration and confrontation: Draw from within is a torrent of surreal and nightmarish images, as in a post-apocalyptic dream. But Wim Vandekeybus maintains that there is light shining through the darkness. Here the flame is fueled by humor and the vibrant energy of the Ballet Rambert dancers that permeates the barrier of the skin. After cataclysmic forebodings, comes release.
