Ultima Vez is the dynamic house for contemporary dance in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek (Brussels) founded by choreographer Wim Vandekeybus.
A place where production and distribution take place in optimal conditions and where creators share their artistic practices with each other and with a wide audience. The work includes the artistic creations of Wim Vandekeybus, the framework around new creators (Ulti’Mates) and our participatory activities.
Wim Vandekeybus (1963) is a choreographer, dancer, filmmaker and photographer. He founded his dance company Ultima Vez in the mid-eighties. He made a remarkable artistic debut with his first performance What the body does not remember (1987). The performance won a Bessie, an award granted for groundbreaking work. His second performance Les porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles (1989) was also honoured with this award. In his unique style, Vandekeybus has created milestones in the development of modern dance with his performances over the last few decades, at home and abroad.
