In 2004 Wim Vandekeybus shot a 52-minute feature based on his successful performance Blush. Carried by the music of David Eugene Edwards and Woven Hand and with texts by the Flemish author Peter Verhelst, Blush is a dazzling voyage swinging between the heavenly landscapes of Corsica and the slummiest depths of Brussels. It is an exploration of the savage subconscious, of mythical forests, of conflicting instincts, of imagination, where the body has reasons unknown to the mind. In dance sequences of attraction, confrontation and repulsion the performers take on animal metamorphoses…

Two men carry a palm tree through an endless desert to an unknown destination. Los Hervideros (Seething with Rage) is an audiovisual parable about the origin of human conflicts.
The film is a labyrinth with multiple entrances, where an unlikely Ariane in wedding gown guides and misleads the viewer in a strange world marked by metamorphosis, multiple personalities, conflicting drives, parody, ritual, surreality.
Director
The video film Roseland, directed by Walter Verdin, Octavio Iturbe and Wim Vandekeybus, is made from the material of Vandekeybus' first three choreographies: What the Body Does Not Remember (1987), Les porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles (1989) and The Weight of a Hand (1990).
