Workshop for professionals - 'Puur' repertory with Laura Aris & Helder Seabra

Join us for an advanced dance workshop with Laura Aris and Helder Seabra, original cast members from the iconic performance "Puur" by Wim Vandekeybus. This workshop delves deep into the repertory material of "Puur" offering participants an immersive experience into the physical depths of violence, power, and innocence while reflecting on these themes from the poetical perspective of the ‘Here After’. The focus will be on both the heritage and the process that led to this year’s revival of the performance at Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, which will be on stage at Opera Antwerp at the beginning of July.

About Puur:
In this historical performance, which first premiered in 2005, Wim Vandekeybus dives 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 agonizing 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.
