In this iconic performance, which first premiered in 2005, Wim Vandekeybus delves into the harrowing depths of violence inflicted upon the innocent. The narrative unfolds around a man compelled to kill, furiously driven by the fear of relinquishing his grasp on power. Drawing inspiration from ancient mythologies, the biblical account of Herod's infanticide, and the tormenting realities of modern genocides, Vandekeybus crafts a hybrid experience. Seamlessly blending dance, theatre, and film, a dark universe is constructed wherein the electrifying choreography and provocative imagery never lose their poetic power.
