ABOUT MOUNT OLYMPUS/24h
Twenty four hours is a clear unit of time: a day and a night. It is also a simple unit of action: all actions take place within these 24 hours. It is the time for working, eating, relaxing and sleeping; it is the time to make love, argue, discuss, seduce, enjoy, fulfil one’s obligations, to care, to hate and to believe… all the actions that people carry out in each 24 hour period. And there is also a clear unit of space: the stage, that dark mirror of the world, that dark space where the imagination briefly lights up and then fades away.
Jan Fabre’s 24 hour project is an attack on time. Fabre stretches time, enters into combat with the second hand, or lets time tick faster or miss a beat. He intensifies the moment of time, that eternal here and now of the theatre, in a maelstrom of images that carry the viewer off to a different experience of time, a labyrinth in time where one wanders, lost between eternity and never, between yesterday and tomorrow, between sleeping and waking, between dream and reality. There is no present in the 24hour project, it is a maze of lost time, frozen time, melting time. Fabre takes you into a landscape of time that surges outward or shrinks inward in the way only stage time can. He breaks time open to make it possible to slip into a different state of consciousness that can be felt through the ticking of the second hand. A time without telos.
