Jan Fabre (BE)
Troubleyn
Jan Fabre (born 1958) began his career in 1980 as director and stage designer. He made a clean break with the conventions of contemporary theatre by introducing the concept of real-time performance. The body in all its forms has been the subject of his investigations since the early 1980s. The name of Jan Fabre’s company, Troubleyn, means ‘remaining faithful’.
