"Faune(s)" It opens with a black-and-white film featuring four smart-looking young men enjoying their free time in Paris. A “wildcat” roams about the streets – sniffing, chasing – and nicks a T-shirt off one of the four in a strangely erotic hotel room scene. This is how the young French high-flyer and winner of the 2008 Prix Jardin d’Europe, Olivier Dubois, introduces the audience to the fetish-like protagonist of his piece “Faune(s)”: the wearer of horns that Vaclav Nijinsky so genially conjured up in “L’Après-midi d’un faune” and that made the audience’s blood boil in 1912. Dubois’ faun, however, is marked by the violence of the story, he is humiliated and shivers in the chaos of war, he is lost in imaginations and, like Nijinsky, perishes in a state of enlightened derangement.
