SYNOPSIS


Fictitious portrait of the Flemish artist Jan Fabre, based on his diary, his visual works and his performances. The film—a today’s fairy tale—projects Jan Fabre into his own imaginative universe and composes a character who changes ceaselessly identity, plays numerous roles under the most varied disguises; behind a mask, still another mask… The female character, like a ‘demon of passage’ using different faces, haunts the male character and inspires his metamorphoses, ad infinitum.

 

‘Existence simulates, it dissimulates, and it dissimulates that, even when dissimulating and playing a role, it continues to be authentic existence, thus binding the simulacrum to genuine authenticity with an almost inextricable malice.’ Maurice Blanchot.
