Known For
In 2004 Wim Vandekeybus shot a 52-minute feature based on his successful performance Blush. Carried by the music of David Eugene Edwards and Woven Hand and with texts by the Flemish author Peter Verhelst, Blush is a dazzling voyage swinging between the heavenly landscapes of Corsica and the slummiest depths of Brussels. It is an exploration of the savage subconscious, of mythical forests, of conflicting instincts, of imagination, where the body has reasons unknown to the mind. In dance sequences of attraction, confrontation and repulsion the performers take on animal metamorphoses…
Blush
A perfect symbiosis of two completely different ensembles. Members of the popular Dejvické divadlo theater, known for their intimate dramatic acting, have joined forces with the stars of the new circus ensemble Cirk La Putyka. Together, they tell a romantic story based on real events in a completely original form. The main character takes us through a period of her life when she was capable of doing almost anything for love.
Honey
An impressionistic emotional struggle between a girl with a prefabricated heart and a mysterious puppet-master. Inspired by the chapter "The Girl with the Pre-Fabricated Heart" from the surrealist film "Dreams That Money Can Buy" (1947) by avant-gardist and dada artist Hans Richter.
