Ultima Vez/Wim Vandekeybus - Hands do not touch your precious Me (2021) long trailer

With Hands do not touch your precious Me, Wim Vandekeybus creates a mythical tale of confrontation and transformation, light and darkness, death and rebirth. For this he collaborates with the composer Charo Calvo, eight dancers and – for the first time – with performer and visual artist Olivier de Sagazan. Together they create a world in which bodies balance like living, fleshly sculptures between the utopian and the gruesome, the powerful and the fragile.

Video editing by Wim Vandekeybus. The video fragments are taken from the livestream performance at KVS in January 2021. Livestream and live editing by Beeldstorm/Jan Bosteels and Fernando Vandekeybus.
