Info

Jury quote:
"Seldom do you see such authentic differences between players come together so beautifully on stage"
"A captivating interaction between two generations of natural born actors who share a passion for both language and soccer"

In Josse Jnr., theatre-maker and performer Ahilan Ratnamohan, Josse De Pauw and Etuwe Bright Junior, investigate language learning and the inevitable power relations that arise from it. What can De Pauw’s texts, stylistically so European and abstract, mean on another body? How can these texts and aesthetics – which by now have largely defined the Flemish canon – reach another poetry? Is Flemishness transferable? Who can become a star and under what conditions?

 

reviews

"In die magische aanblik van een voor een westers publiek zo ongerijmde clash tussen (zwart) lichaam, tekst en klank zit eigenlijk alles vervat. (...) het is een meesterlijke manier om het er niet over te hebben, en toch alles te vertellen."

—De Theaterkrant
