Protocol of Desire
A theatrical journey past the vistas of desire. Is human desire a matter of psychology or intuition? Are calculations and strategies the exclusive domain of rationality, of the mind? Or is desire inherent in the body and can it be tapped into and made tangible? This production does not focus on the ‘result’ but on the process of desire in the human body as a vital instinct that can bring the body into a continuous state of excitement.
From 1987 onwards, Renée Copraij (1964) has collaborated with the versatile Belgian artist Jan Fabre, first as a performing artist and later on as an assistant (www.troubleyn.be). In 1999, together with Dennis O’Connor, she created Interview, with music by David Linton.
Since 1995, Martin Butler (1970) has been making his own productions, like The Puppet Master, The Last Celebrity, Phoenix and The Gemini Project. These productions move between theatre, dance, fashion and pop music.
