In Spite of Wishing and Wanting
2002 · 51 MIN · IMDB 6.3 · 17 VOTES · DIR. Wim Vandekeybus
Overview
A dynamic, contemporary dance performance about how it is impossible to explain your deepest wishes or desires... how these can only be expressed in dreams and sleep. In the final sequence, we see the importance of effort and hope in the dancers' attempt to escape gravity. The all-male company performs to the music of David Byrne.
