Went to see Jan Fabre's Orgy of Tolerance.
Imagine an evening of competitive masturbation, cock-sucking, furniture-fucking, rifle-barrel-butt-fucking, a room full of guys getting hand jobs while discussing their collection of ethnic humans, torturing people for the sake of consumerism, and a litany of 'fuck you's aimed at every single conceivably religious/ethnic/gender/sexual orientation group you can think of.
Shocking?
On the contrary. It was sophomoric, predictable, shallow and also felt terribly outdated, by like 30 years. I couldn't believe that this was the new work by the leader of the Flemish Wave -- it felt more like some college student's first self-made dance-theater piece (in fact it did remind me of the works of a few college acquaintances), except with an enormous budget.
The performers were all very talented and could obviously move, but their energies were embarrassingly wasted on a fetid work.
