Jan Fabre i doświadczenie granicy
Jan Fabre and the experience of the boundary

Summary/Abstract: Dorota Semenowicz creates a protrait of Jan Fabre, the Flemish director, choreographer and visual artist. The text opens with a brief description of Mount Olympus, a 24-hour-long performance which becomes a pretext for reflection on Fabre's attitude towards the ancient tradition linked to Dionysus. Signalling Foucault's influence on the Belgian artist, Semenowicz points out the particular place occupied in his work by the biological, suffering, desiring body, rebelling against subjection and contesting social norms. The author also describes Fabre's dialogue with art and theatre history (Duchamp, conceptual art, body art and performance art).
