Blush is an exploration into the emotions that cause one to blush. A mixed cast of 10 performers, including Wim Vandekeybus himself, confronts extreme notions such as beauty and ugliness.
Film sequences by Wim Vandekeybus create a seamless border between two worlds.
The Flemish author Peter Verhelst followed the creation process, structuring the texts by the dancers into soothing words, volatile metaphors and rich poetry.
The Denver-based singer & songwriter David Eugene Edwards (Woven Hand & 16 Horsepower) composed the music for Blush. The sound of his banjo and his deep soul voice form the background to an avalanche of images.
