In 1989, after a residency at the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine d'Angers (France), Wim Vandekeybus created Les porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles. Les porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles explores and develops the confrontation between the actor and the imminent, inescapable elements of reality: weight, duration, falling, breath.

15 years later, Ultima Vez did a revival of this creation in collaboration with Companhia Instável in Porto, Portugal. Departure point was the desire to confront young dancers with Vandekeybus’ very specific movement language and to enrich the Portuguese performance scene. Eight dancers of seven different nationalities are involved in the project, the main aim being to create a project stimulating artistic exchange and contamination.

Première of the revival: September 10th 2004, Teatro Carlos Alberto, Porto (P)
