[OESY]

A work by the Belgian stage director Jan Fabre. One verdict: "Sheer imposture, bloated by its own importance, and of unfathomable tedium."



A work by the choreographer Christian Rizzo at the Avignon theater festival. It drew boos and catcalls. Other works, too, displeased the critics.

Imagine a series of shows so pretentious and outre that even the French walk out of them!

That's supposed to be art?!?

[Fenris6]

You can actually get a degree in Art, though I have no idea how/where they apply it. Anyone know any art/film/drama majors? Are there any standards for competency?

[martin_fierro]

It's like Cirque de Soleil on acid.

You sure that isn't from the Clown Mass?

Some guys have all the fun-nel.

"sheer imposture, bloated by its own importance, and of unfathomable tedium."

Sounds like the perfect show for the French. Maybe they should have called it "Looking in a Mirror".

..."sheer imposture, bloated by its own importance, and of unfathomable tedium."

I'm sure a lot was lost in translation, but this seems to me to be just a little bit cranky...
