PRODUCTION
Göteborg Ballet
For his guest choreography for The Göteborg Ballet, Wim Vandekeybus chose to work with the text Bêt Noir (1999), an adaptation of Sophocles' famous Oedipus myth by the Flemish playwright Jan Decorte. For the very first time a play by Jan Decorte - known for his very specific, fragmentary, childlike and condensed language - was translated into Swedish. Within the group of 13 performers of The Göteborg Ballet, Wim Vandekeybus has also cast one guest performer: the actor and dancer Niklas Eck in the role of the blind seer.
The challenge for the performers in this collaboration with Wim Vandekeybus, lay in the creative input that was asked from them during the creation process, on the level of movement as well as character development.
