In Spite of Wishing
and Wanting
a dance video by Wim Vandekeybus
In creating this piece, Wim Vandekeybus worked in close
collaboration with composer David Byrne, primarily known
as co-founder of the Talking Heads, and with an all-male
company. Vandekeybus says In Spite of Wishing and Wanting
"is about how it is impossible to explain your deepest
wish or desire... But in your dreams and sleep, your deepest
wishes and fears can be expressed."
Vandekeybus' style is known for its adrenalin-fuelled sense
of danger, with a dance vocabulary drawn from everyday movement.
These elements are all contained in this video that also
marks a new departure for Vandekeybus in its exploration
of the different tensions, responses, emotions and energy
generated by a single sex cast.
Poetic and passionate, In Spite of Wishing and Wanting,
is a powerful and moving mix of movement, music, symbol,
words and silence. This screen adaptation of the work was
shot in the atmospheric surroundings of a racetrack and
at the beautiful ballroom-concert hall 'Vooruit Arts Center'
in Ghent, Belgium.
