Festival de la Bâtie – J.C.

Booking Required

FURTHER AFIELD

Directed by Juliette Navis, J.C. centres on three crisis-struck figures and inaugurates a trilogy that interrogates taboos of money, death and sex. In the first instalment Douglas Grauwels embodies a Jean‑Claude Van Damme‑inspired persona, delivering a torrent of speech and physical gestures. The piece blends muscular choreography, occasional esoteric touches and sharp comedic moments to probe our relationship with wealth and desire. Produced in co‑production with a local cultural partner.

In French.
