JAN LAUWERS & NEEDCOMPANY: THE HOUSE OF OUR FATHERS

16.6. SUN 11:00 am - 7:00 pm GALLERY  |  PERFORMANCE / INSTALLATION  |  The Flemish director and artist Jan Lauwers is one of the major innovators of European theatre. After the death of his father, Lauwers discovered a whole collection of unusual items in his house, ranging from antique objects to organs preserved in bottles: all significant finds, but each an individual enigma.

Die performative Installation von Jan Lauwers

Lauwers went on to create “The House Of Our Fathers” on the basis of his findings. Intermittently, a silent memento mori is created and then the space becomes populated by dancers, actors and musicians attempting to process what they have seen in their own individual fashion through improvisation. Naturally, not everything functions perfectly, but it is specifically the gaps between “processing” and the “exhibition” which are of greatest interest. Spectators are free to stay for hours or just a few minutes. As “The House Of Our Fathers” goes well beyond the scope of theatre works and installations, it cannot be categorised under any of the established artistic forms. The contemplation of time, memories and “history” – both personal and supra-personal – therefore becomes the essential focal point of this colourful project.
