Jan Fabre, born in 1958, lives and works in Antwerp. Many works have been published on his works as a visual artist, stage director, choreographer, set designer, performer. But never has a documentary been produced on this mult­i-talented figure. The documentary is based on the interviews with Jan Fabre, Georges Banu (a theatre critic),Vincent Baudriller (ex co­director of Festival d’Avignon), Jan Dekeyser (architect of Fabre’s theatre/atelier) and Rudolf Rach (Fabre’s editor in France). The images of 12 shows, 5 exhibitions and many drawings, models and scul­ptures move behind the words of the interviewees, drawing up the lines of the portrait of one of the most controversial artist of the last 3 decades.
