    • Synopsis
    • Fictitious portrait of the Flemish artist Jan Fabre.
      The film—a today’s fairy tale—projects Jan Fabre into his own imaginative universe and composes a character who changes ceaselessly identity, plays numerous roles under the most varied disguises; behind a mask, still another mask… The female character, like a ‘demon of passage’ using different faces, haunts the male character and inspires his metamorphoses, ad infinitum.
      ‘Existence simulates, it dissimulates, and it dissimulates that, even when dissimulating and playing a role, it continues to be authentic existence, thus binding the simulacrum to genuine authenticity with an almost inextricable malice.’ Maurice Blanchot.
