Presented as part of the fiftieth edition of Festival de la Bâtie, this late-stage production by Robert Wilson draws its creative power from the polymorphic poetry of Fernando Pessoa. Like a magic mirror, Pessoa – Since I’ve Been Me illuminates the nuances of Wilson’s singular aesthetic: meticulous stagecraft, visionary fantasy and boundless imagination. Seven virtuosic performers, including Maria de Meideros, embody Pessoa and his heteronyms in a poetic, visually arresting mise en scène.
Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.
