Book Burning
In English with Czech subtitles.
"The alliance of the poetics and politics here is simply magical”
(Le temps, CH)
"Accessible, brilliant and all things considered significant in contemporary thought, this is a must-see show!"
(Laure Dasinière,FR)
History is at an impasse. No revolutions are taking place. What else can one say? A play about forgetting and forgiving, about knowledge and riddles, and about the absence of story. In the form of a cat, we follow the story of a man who completely lights up when his daughter immerses herself in a chest. Perhaps it is fiction. But it might also be a political, even utopian play, because it wagers on the magical possibilities of language and radical imagination. Book Burning is not what it is, but that which it might be: an impetus for the start of a new world. Writer, essayist and performer Pieter De Buysser and visual artist Hans Op de Beeck have created a poetic performance with strong political contents. A cabinet of curiosities in a world overloaded with information. What can WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden do for poetry? You can't know the facts until you see the fiction.
