Get Out: Jan Fabre's Orgy of Tolerance @ OtB

Troubleyn, the theatre/performance company Belgian artist Jan Fabre founded 1986 to produce his idiosyncratic stage pieces, and this week, Troubleyn makes a rare U.S. (and Seattle debut) at On the Boards with Orgy of Tolerance (100 W. Roy St. Thurs.-Sun. 8 p.m., tix $24). The show, a surrealistic multimedia spectacle, is Fabre's exploration of (we assume) what he read in Ernest Mandel's work on late capitalism: the world is sick with the orgy of consumption, which isolates all of us in a closed world of materialist onanism. Or something. Who knows? Fabre's work is known for its stunning visuals, a sort of Belgian counterpart to Italian theatre virtuoso Romeo Castellucci's Societas Raffaello Sanzio, whose Hey Girl! last year at OtB let us down a bit, but was unforgettable in terms of its effects and staging.
