For this new creation dancer and choreographer Seppe Baeyens steps outside the walls of the theater building and enters the public space together with a group of performers and musicians. The normal course of things is interrupted there – sometimes invisibly, then again clearly. In playful interactions between spectators, participants and chance passers-by, surprising compositions are created time and again, in which everyone appears to have an influence on the whole.
About the makers
The work of Seppe Baeyens moves on the border of what is traditionally regarded as theater and dance. He turns that border into a fertile one artistic research space for a social experiment that focuses on connecting. “There is a whole world outside the theater walls that is still does not have access to dance and theatre”, according to the choreographer. With this statement he summarizes the core of his own work.
Ultima Vez was founded in 1986 as the production structure of cheographer, dancer, photographer and filmmaker Wim Vandekeybus. Since then, Ultima Vez has developed its activities as an international dance company, all with strong roots in Brussels and Flanders. Seppe Baeyens has been closely associated with Ultima Vez since 2011.
