“The intensity of moments when you don’t have a choice, when other things decide for you, like falling in love, or the second before the accident that has to happen; suddenly they appear, with no introduction, important for me because of their extremeness rather than for the significance to be given to them. The decision to use this as a basic material for a theatrical composition is at least a paradoxical challenge, considering a theatrical event as repeatable and controllable. Perhaps when all is said and done, the body doesn’t remember either and everything is a subtle illusion of lack which helps to define or exhaust the game.” Wim Vandekeybus
I actually went to see the show so I will definitely be giving more insight on it later -- will write up on the weekend. I guess what I have to say for now is that the concept -- so interesting and that the actors take a risk by putting themselves through the capriciousness of their piece.
