BLUSH
Directed by Wim Vandekeybus, BLUSH is confrontational and intensely physical. Central to the work is the instinctive body, the restless, unpredictable, powerful yet fragile body, the body of reflexes.
Wild rock music by David Eugene Edwards and words from Peter Verheist, form the background to an avalanche of images. A woman makes love to a man as he snores. An immense wall of bags is constructed, then brutally crushes two dancers.
Diving from the stage into the screen, dancers seamlessly reappear on film, transformed into water nymphs in an underwater netherworld.
Vandekeybus' work seems to push dancers and technology beyond their limits, in a total osmosis of action, film and live music. Blush seethes with energy, danger, emotion and sensuality.
