Jan Fabre / Troubleyn
This is theatre like it was to be expected and foreseen
- Performance
480 min
During the performance it is possible to leave the auditorium and return later on. The bar will remain open for the entire duration of the performance.
The title’s tautological structure (it is as it was) is essentially a double negation. This production is not theatre, and certainly not as was foreseen. What could have been expected was fiction, but it is more work than play. Fabre succeeds in creating a universe that shakes theatre to its core, and definitively tears down any potential definitions that might have still been standing.
Production re-enactment 2012: Troubleyn/Jan Fabre (Antwerp). Co-production: Desingel (Antwerpen), Romaeuropa Festival (Rome).
