Ultima Vez: Radical Wrong

After the energetic dance performance nieuwZwart (2009) and his fascinating movie performance Monkey Sandwich (2010) Wim Vandekeybus is ready for a new adventure. In the antiperformance RADICAL WRONG the choreographer and film-maker wants to appeal to a broad audience and above all to today’s vibrant young people. The tempo is scorching hot. There’s no point in hiding. Since this first experience of working with and for youngsters in 2002, Wim Vandekeybus has lead several youth projects. Geared to the youngsters' experiences and perception of the world, Wim Vandekeybus stimulates them to get in touch with different people, disciplines, media, genres, tastes and ways of experiencing movement.

With RADICAL WRONG Wim Vandekeybus wants to create a performance which actually isn’t a performance or at least doesn’t want to pretend to be one. RADICAL WRONG is constantly looking for an identity without being afraid to make mistakes. And that’s probably its strength. Wim Vandekeybus: “They can all say it sucks! The rebellious spirit of teenagers means a lot more to me then the opinion of the establishment who tells them how it is done and what to think about it. In a sense RADICAL WRONG is a serious test for me. I destroy myself – it is a performance in which I no longer exist.”
