"How do you like my landscape?"

This extraordinary performance by Manah Depauw and Bernard Van Eeghem was inspired by the apocalypse and genesis. In “How do you like my landscape?” the artists redefine the position of the body in our society with brilliant, fierce and funny imagination. Within four humorously eerie episodes the apparently peaceful idyll of a landscape with undulating hills and animals transforms into its utter opposite. The monstrous slumbering in all of us comes to light, and beyond political correctness or puritanical points of view Depauw and Van Eeghem develop their bizarre new version of the history of humankind.

“The piece is humorous and surprising. [...] The Belgian pair of artists overflows with audacity and imagination.” (Benoit Le Breton, Ouest France)
