Confabulations

In search of the ultimate proof that reality is just an illusion, Diederik Peeters dives deep into the archives of psychiatry and neurology. In a strange visual universe where the theatre itself seems to come alive, Peeters leads us along the thin line between reason and delirium, reality and imagination, illusion and perception. What reality do we truly share — and who decides what realities are “pathological”?

Confabulations invites us to review our ideas of mental health and unsettles the very notion of a fixed, objective reality. On stage with Peeters: Marcos Simões, Grégoire Blanc, and Ode Windels. Christoph Hefti and Sofie Durnez designed colorful fabrics, Alice Spenle conjures sonic ghosts, and Henri-Emmanuel Doublier brings them into light.
