World premiere on October 20th 2018 at KVS, Brussels.
TrapTown, takes you to a parallel universe, free from defined time and space. Conflicts from the early days and curious strange catastrophes dominate the relationships between the people. The necessity and apparent possibility of emancipation rise to the surface.
Wim Vandekeybus’ fascination for the universal nature of the age-old myths was already demonstrated in Blush (2002) and Oedipus/bêt noir (2011). For TrapTown, he returns to the limitless and obscure cosmos of the ancient souls, using dance, film, text and music to conceive a new mythology. Dance and film sequences create a seamless live experience. Pieter De Buysser writes the text. The soundtrack is composed by Trixie Whitley and Phoenician Drive and forms the background to an avalanche of images. The architect duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh signed for the design of the scenography. All together they take the audience to oracles, catharsis and euphoria.
“Vandekeybus is a true storyteller, with a love for all things incomprehensible, the subconscious, the intuitive, the paradoxical. That’s his strength, which is proven here once again.”
Mirjam van der Linden, Volkskrant, October 2018
"TrapTown is a significant work through its interaction with the media. (...) This is no longer simply a dancing performance, but instead a magnificent multimedia work of art, which also inspires the audience to think of the world from a different perspective."
Thomas Linden, Tanz am Rhein, February 2019
