The visionary poetics of Jan Fabre is used to celebrate the complicated nature of his “mad” country: a “dwarf state” with three different regions and languages. Unstable, and used as battle-field by neighbouring states, its inhabitants are crushed by bureaucratic, formal affairs, but are also very subversive. Fabre turns to the imaginative potential of theatre to capture a description: «Belgians will eat, drink and enjoy themselves up to a bursting point. Chips! Beer! Chocolate Waffels! They celebrate the dining table and they celebrate meat. Nobody is more derisive of Belgians than Belgians themselves. The land gives asylum to a breed of lazybones and conmen. O’ noble Belgium, O’ devious Nation! Do not give in to the swinging flags and joyous ceremonies that try to lure you in. It has nothing to do with nationalism, if anything is the exact opposite. Welcome to Absurdland!».
