As part of the final season of Archa Theatre called The Cornerstones of the Future, Archa Theatre's long-term exclusive artistic partner, the progressive Flemish dance company Ultima Vez, returns to its stage with TRACES, choreographed by world-renowned director and choreographer Wim Vandekeybus.

In TRACES Wim Vandekeybus follows the traces he has left. He looks back on the intuitions from where his search began: to the drama of impulses and instincts; to the game of energies and intensities. Vandekeybus searches for traces that are older than mankind and his memory. For ‘the inner story’, for the story that unfolds beyond language and can only be told in the pulses of dance and music. The music is composed by Trixie Whitley, Marc Ribot, Shahzad Ismaily, Ben Perowsky and Daniel Mintseris.
