Dance performance in collaboration with Wim Vandekeybus - Ultima Vez and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui - Eastman - Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.

The dance students from the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp show fragments of work from Wim Vandekeybus and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. They are inspired by dance
material from Cherkaoui’s opera Satyagraha and the production In Spite of Wishing and Wanting by Vandekeybus.

DEEL 1: Dance fragments from In Spite of Wishing and Wanting.

Wim Vandekeybus’ In Spite of Wishing and Wanting was created in 1999 for a completely male cast on music by David Byrne. In a fantastical universe, the dancers move between dream and reality, the physical and the magical, the wild and the elegant. Anyone who has seen the original production will surely remember scenes such as the poetic search for a suitable partner with orange segments. Scenes from this performance are performed by dance students from bachelor 3.

DEEL 2: The Kuru Field of Justice - dance fragments from the opera Satyagraha.

By Philip Glass © 1980 Dunvagen Music Publishers Inc. Used by Permission.

The early years of Gandhi’s life inspired the American composer Philip Glass to write his opera Satyagraha, a ritual ‘redemption piece’ about the human capacity to change history through their own actions - irrespective of time and space. Commissioned by Theater Basel, Komische Oper and Opera Vlaanderen, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui created a new interpretation of this three-part Philip Glass opera in which music, voice and physicality merge. Dance fragments from this production are performed by students from bachelor 1 and 2.
