‘If the stage is a fragment of mental space, as the choreographer Hideyuki Yano said not so long ago, one will understand that Wim Vandekeybus, far from abandoning all these images which slumber in him, will make them enter in chaos into the imaginary of the bodies, try to mark their mysterious trance, listen to their trembling. Besides film and screen, the stage of Bereft of a Blissful Union will be a place of projection, even through the bodies. Isn't dance, after all, the project of the dream?'
Jean-Marc Adolphe in the Februari/March/April '96 program of Théâtre de la Ville, Paris
