Ultima Vez' performances are always impressive, with their mix of movement and image.
For the score of Puur, Vandekeybus turned once again to US singer-songwriter David Eugene Edwards, who worked on Blush, which Taipei audiences saw in 2003. Edwards also appears in the film for Puur, as a social outcast from a closed society, who appears to sing and prophecy. Vandekeybus then combine Edwards' score with music by the Italian composer Fausto Romiteli.
As is true with almost all of Vandekeybus' works, Puur is not for the faint hearted, since he doesn't shrink from violence or blood.
"I've never made a show that's so close to life -- because it's about death," he said.
