What does Jan Fabre mean when he says 'anyone who presents a monologue must be an athlete of emotions'? The answer lies in this special series. For three weeks at a stretch you can enjoy three monologues he wrote for the actor Dirk Roofthooft. The main idea behind each monologue is Fabre's questioning of the artistic calling and the status of originality and authenticity associated with it. Plus one of the recurring themes in Fabre's work: metamorphosis. Thirteen years after the creation of 'The Emperor of Loss', Jan Fabre completed the circle with 'The Servant of Beauty'. Two reruns and a world premiere.
In 'The King of Plagiarism' a rather shy angel appears in the guise of a surgeon. This angel emulates 'the chattering monkeys' and would love to become an actor. He finds himself in a homemade laboratory. On stands we see beakers filled with brain-like objects happily bubbling away in a chemical solution. In a while he will provide himself with a brain. Tentatively and apologetically he addresses us. Who is this strange outsider who is so keen to become a person?
