Following his successful directing debut MAMA DADA, about Dada poet and very first performance artist Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Ludwig Bindervoet now pays tribute to the most notorious theatre innovator and prophet of performance art: Antonin Artaud. Like Artaud, Bindervoet is a director, actor and writer, and so he directs, adapts and performs Artaud’s never-staged sci-fi libretto Il n’y a plus de firmament (There Is No More Firmament; 1933), turning it into ARTAUD3000, an end-of-days story set in the future.

An unknown planet is hurtling towards Earth. We see humanity in injury time. Ominous and funny. As Artaud’s doppelgänger, Bindervoet takes us on a journey through a tantalising hall of mirrors, past hallucinatory dream images, psychotic sketches of mood and the cacophony of mass hysteria. ARTAUD3000 is a performance as cosmic as it is intimate, in which the body speaks, the mind breathes and the heart thinks – a raw and unpredictable hymn of praise to the irrational. A crazy, capricious, (multi)lingual and visual movement piece. Anti-intellectual, physical and intuitive. A much-needed antidote in polished times.

Bindervoet’s MAMA DADA was nominated for two awards: performer Elvis de Launay for the Theo d’Or for the most boundary-pushing stage performance, and costume designer Carmen Schabracq for the very first Ontwerpersprijs (Designers’ Award).
