I went to this contemporary dance program last night at the Flynn. "Ultima Vez" is the name of the Brussels-based company. 90 minutes of pure energy and movement. No intermission, to have one would have broken up the flow of it. They are not acrobats, but there was that aspect to it. It reminded me of some of the dances by Martha Graham and had a bit of the humor of Pilobous.
It was their USA premiere for "Spiegel," a look-back of 20 years work by the director of the company, Wim Vandekeybus.
"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was." - Molly Ivins 1944-2007
THIS IS ME...
... I blog from BURLINGTON, VERMONT. I'm a hustler about civic engagement & social action and I'll make publicity against a world that degrades and shames whatever way I can. Joy!
