Quando l'uomo principale è una donna

The work of Jan Fabre is punctuated by the creation of dance solos. He makes a habit of creating pieces for his favourite dancers and actors. In Quando l'uomo principale è una donna, Lisbeth Gruwez is transformed into a « virgin warrior ». She incarnates a feminine icon made up of elegance and furor, fighting her incontrollable inner urges. « We shall not forget that the human embryo is first female, before the sex of the child is determined. I chose Lisbeth Gruwez for this solo because of her almost masculine physique. We can see the body of a man with the mentality of a woman. It's a woman who plays a man with many nuances...» Jan Fabre
