Acclaimed Belgian choreographer Wim Vandekeybus, recently awarded the 2020 UK National Dance Award for best digital performance, is bringing the latest performance by his troupe Ultima Vez, to KVS for seven shows. Based on five-millennia-old Mesopotamian poetry, Hands Do Not Touch Your Precious Me is a  mysterious, poetic, gruesome, and fascinating descent into the underworld. Vandekeybus took a break from rehearsals to answer our questions.
