In 2002 werd Wim Vandekeybus door danser en choreograaf Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui gevraagd een solo te creëren in het kader van 'Le Vif du Sujet', een project in het kader van het Festival d'Avignon.

Uitgangspunt van IT is een kortverhaal van Paul Bowles. Daarin voert Bowles de Atlajala op, een geest die verschillende gedaantes kan aannemen. Op scène geeft Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui gestalte aan deze geest in zijn zoektocht naar het innerlijke in de/het andere.

Aanvankelijk gemaakt voor open lucht, werd IT later herwerkt tot een zaalvoorstelling met filmbeelden van Wim Vandekeybus.
