"nieuwZwart" (new black)" Belgian star choreographer Wim Vandekeybus has been fascinating his audiences for many years with his rapid and feisty dance style. His pieces are highly vivacious and so incomparable till today that so far no one has managed to copy him. Vandekeybus stands for action and virtuosity, always combined with powerful contents. The latest work by this restless artist, “nieuwZwart/New Black”, also promises breath-taking suspense, this time with a group of seven young dancers. They experiment with various forms of physicality – four men and three women dealing with thematic guidelines such as resistance and change, destruction and evolution. Dangerous passions, the transformation of the body through its surroundings and the ambivalent handling of existence in these present times produce an existential tension onstage. Mauro Pawlowski, member of the band dEUS, contributes the soundtrack to the piece live on stage, the texts are by Peter Verhelst.
