As long as he does not know himself

The inexhaustible metaphorical strenght of Ovid’s metamorphoses reflects up to the present day. Echo, only able to repeat the roughly or carefully predigested in a fragmentary and inattentive manner, dematerializes at long last, floating around aimlessly. Likewise, the selfie-addicted exhibisionist in the virtual cobweb too often meets a tragic fate. Ultimate mutations.

In this performance Ovid’s compelling verses underpin the graphical discourse. Josse de Pauw narrates the myth of Echo and Narcissus. Meanwhile the ink drawings, sprouting rhythmically from the paintbrush of artist/performer Koenraad Tinel - geprojecteerd op een groot scherm - ritmisch groeien in dialoog met de klanken ontstaan uit de fantasie van Frederik Neyrinck.
