I am a mistake is a theatre text written by Jan Fabre in 1988. It is a manifesto that amounts almost to a profession of faith by the artist. The blunt confession 'I am a mistake' is like a mantra that repeats and divides.

Jan Fabre, the visionary visual artist and theater creator, teams up with his Troubleyn company of 11 brilliant actors and dancers to present HARAKIRI (A political and incorrect performance) - a daring new dance and theater creation. A ‘razorblade’ performance, designed to simultaneously wound and amuse, it pushes the boundaries of performance art and provokes thought on the world we live in today.
Who Shall Speak My Thought? is a haunting theatre text written by Jan Fabre in 1980. Performed by the Spanish actress Ivette Codina, this hypnotic solo plunges into the mind of a hypersensitive individual driven to the edge by the sounds, images, and sensations of the world around them.
An ode to those who feel too much, hear too much, see too much and who continue to search for beauty and meaning within the overwhelming chaos of existence.
The character played by Stella Höttler is lost and confused in this changing world. Therefore, she apologizes herself for everything—for how she looks, for how she behaves, for what she says … She tries to find her way in the world of self-censorship...
AN 8 HOUR PERFORMANCE
The highest peak of Mount Olympus is called Mytikas. A Greek word for Nose. Because the gods live on that mountain, the Nose is the nose of all the gods.
« La vraie révolution sera mentale ou ne sera pas. »
(The true revolution will be mental, or it will not be.) — Antonin Artaud
Una tribù, ecco quello che sono | A Tribe, That Is Me (2004) is Jan Fabre’s poetic perspective on the work of theatre visionary Antonin Artaud, the 'founder' of the Théâtre de la Cruauté (1938). This cruelty is not physical, but spiritual—a call to return to raw, unfiltered truth.
La poésie de la résistance / The Poetry of Resistance is a powerful and engaging theatre text, written by Jan Fabre in 2024, that celebrates the strength of art, poetry, and resistance against oppression. In a poetic and rhythmic manifesto, two performers present themselves as members of an artistic resistance movement, fighting non-violently against censorship, suppression, and conformity.

A book that wants to prepare the performer for a new age. Written by Luk Van den Dries, dramaturg and theatre researcher of the University of Antwerp, in tight collaboration with Jan Fabre and three of the most experienced performers/teachers of Troubleyn/Jan Fabre Annabelle Chambon, Cédric Charron & Ivana Jozić. For ten years they worked together on this new manual for performers.
The British publishing house Bloomsbury Publishing UK (Methuen Drama - Bloomsbury Publishing UK) launched an 8-volume series, ‘The Great European Stage Directors’. This comprehensive series delves into the genealogy and development of theatre practice by focusing on individual directors within their historical, cultural, and theoretical contexts. Each volume provides in-depth analysis of three major directors, making it an essential resource for theatre practitioners and scholars alike.
Jan Fabre has been featured in the prestigious final volume, alongside Pina Bausch and Romeo Castellucci. The series under the guidance of the influential theatre historian Simon Shepherd, is a fascinating read for anyone passionate about the evolution of European stage directing.
