Writing the Myth

Oedipus is a rewriting of Oedipus Rex, by Sophocles. Maja Zade modernizes the entire plot to keep only the essential tragic core: Oedipus killed his father and married his mother. Starting from 5 well-known myths, Héloïse Ravet, director of the show, proposes to rewrite a few lines of them and make them resonate with our modern imaginations. And you, what would you change, what would you keep, of a Narcissus or a Medea? As a reminder, what is a Fabrique? Following several shows, the Fabriques will offer you the opportunity to enter the heart of the creation processes. These playful and privileged meetings will allow you to meet the programmed artists, to initiate an intimate dialogue with them upstream of the performance time, discover their know-how from the inside and experience a slice of their method. Chosen speakers will orchestrate these workshops, between adults or as a family, over a drink or a snack. Course of a Fabrique The course of each Fabrique is the same: from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, a workshop followed by a friendly break from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, free drink, and finally, at 6:00 PM, the show for which the ticket is paid and at your expense. Ticket purchase can be done online, by phone at +32 (0)2 640 35 50 during opening hours or via reservation@varia.be. Who can participate in the Fabriques? Les Fabriques are artistic discovery moments aimed at a non-professional audience of the performing arts. No prerequisites are necessary to participate.
