Antwerp | West Coast Debut
Merrill Wright Mainstage Theater

Belgian artist Jan Fabre makes his Seattle debut with a new multidisciplinary project that considers the idea of tolerance taken to the extreme. Fabre employs actors, dancers and musicians to paint a provocative panorama of a Visa/MasterCard society that indulges in every possible fetish. Despite being one of the most respected and audacious artists on the international performance scene, this engagement will be one of the few times Fabre’s work has been seen in the US during his 25-year career. A contemporary renaissance man, Fabre recently curated an exhibition of works at the Louvre and created a new dance work for the 2008 Festival d’Avignon (France).
