Père Noël, der Weihnachtsmann
Der etwas zerstreute Geschenkemann Père Noël müht sich seit Jahren immer im Dezember mit den Weihnachtsgeschenken ab. Mal murmelt er über sein Alter, mal über die Geschenke, die schwer auf seinem Rücken wiegen
In “Der Jungfrau Gewidmet” ist der reine und nackte Körper von grundlegender Bedeutung und hat Frans Custers versucht, nicht die Sexualität, sondern die Emotion und deren Anfälligkeit in den Blickpunkt zu rücken.
The Fundament tells the story of a man who carries the scars of his past with him. His environment determines how he should behave and feel. By giving in to this, he is still more torn and deprived of reality. By going his own way, he is freed from every burden. He feels good, whatever his environment thinks of it.
Zjean has been a lackey for ages, and he knows his profession like no other. He works on his audience with excessive slickness.
Life has made him a marked man. Herr Trut’s personality is not a treat for eye if you only like distinguished respectability. With his imperial look, the old gentleman explores his surroundings.
Leather trousers, white shirt, bow tie and hat. Suitcase in his hand.
With an enormity of intensity he moves very carefully, shyly, he sometimes puts a step forward and then back again. He goes his own way, and meets a lot.........
In imprisoned freedom, Frans Custers let go of the fight against the flow of life (loop der dingen) and find himself in a new freedom which is more oppressive than offering possibilities of living. Just a coincidental liberation from the cage of restrictions, give way to the borderlessness of life.
