For the choreographer and film-maker Wim Vandekeybus, Fear Not is the pivotal part of the celebrations for Ultima Vezʼ 25th anniversary. While his legendary debut production What the Body Does Not Remember is being revived at the KVS, Vandekeybus, together with the AB, Vk*, Beursschouwburg and les ateliers claus, is casting a musical eye to the future. His friend Mauro Pawlowski will be assisting him in four unique dance intermezzos as part of these evening concerts.

All eyes are on the future for FEAR NOT. Together with Wim Vandekeybus, the music-houses of Brussels are making a wish-list of musicians who might inspire the choreographer over the coming years. With Mauro as bridge between past, present and future, everyone is expecting an explosive musical 4-dayer. On the programme in AB:

Dansdans (b)
Dans Dans harbours the talents of three absolutely top-class musicians: Bert ‘Flying Horseman’ Dockx, Fred ‘Lyenn’ Jacques and Steven ‘Dez Mona’ Cassiers. Their music guarantees an unusual mix of psychedelica, deep blues and drony improvisations.

Mauro & Wim Vandekeybus (b)
Mauro Pawlowski provides the soundtrack to dance by Wim Vandekeybus.

Spookhuisje (b)
AB Artist In Residence and hailed by De Morgen as “truely promising Brussels talent.”

Music runs like a thread through Wim Vandekeybusʼ oeuvre. Peter Vermeersch, Thierry De Mey, David Byrne, Marc Ribot, Charo Calvo, Eavesdropper, David Eugene Edwards, Daan, Arno, Mauro Pawlowski, Roland Van Campenhout and Elko Blijweert – they have all written music for his productions. In November 2007 several of them celebrated the 20th anniversary of Ultima Vez when Vandekeybus transformed the AB into a real artistic Valhalla.

For Fear Not, all eyes are on the future. Together with Wim Vandekeybus, Brusselsʼ music venues are drawing up a wish-list of the musicians who may inspire the choreographer in the next few years. And, with Mauro as a bridge between past, present and future, everyone can expect a dazzling four days of music.
