During this performance the artist will undergo several metamorphoses. He steps in the outlines of a man, drawn on the stage with shaving cream. As he plays with different transformations he frequently stops to study his new image in the mirror.
'Did my performance 'After Art' today.
Lots of students and philosophers came to watch.
Reactions were very positive.
It's just that the sentences
'It sounds very interesting' and 'It looks fantastic'
are starting to drive me mad.'
(Jan Fabre, Milwaukee, 24 October 1980)
