Before the performance, the audience memory loss is drawn to the tranquil nature of the performance. Mobile phones. memory loss No laughter. No noise. While the public is - as soon turns - part of this stillness, this secret alliance. Each crackling paper or suppresses coughing makes the magic of 'Hotel Malaria is broken. The audience is complicit. The stage: two people in little memory loss yellowish light. We see the woman (played by Lien Wildemeersch) sitting on a stool in front of the stage. Straight back, a shiny trouser suit, slim. Behind it stands the guy (Bert Luppes), he cuts wood. Fiery, passionate, fanatical. Sometimes eats a sliver. A bare chest with about a vest with hood pulled over his head. Male, animal, memory loss raw. The contrast between the two men seems great. Perhaps even cliche? But soon unfolds an exciting game between two people who are looking for ... yes to what? To himself, desire, to love, to see and be seen. Poetic and visual text is poetic ("The desire to resolve something. The desire to become intoxicated. Not to escape the world, but to intensify it. Ervan be drenched. Absorbed memory loss in. Saturated in. Until the lips full, red lips, and after a kiss that does not stop "), players hardly interact, the image is a work of visual art: 'Hotel Malaria memory loss has the form of a performance than a theater. What is exactly is happening between the two figures, remains vague. We know that the young woman is the man followed, writes him letters and a contract has been showing signs he receives her at his home and will continue "until happened is what should happen." But who she is: a prostitute, and chance encounter, a lost love? We do not know. It is also not important. It is a poem, an improvisation, a hallucinatory fever dream. Especially touching game Bert Luppes knows his dark fragile voice, memory loss his uncouth body movements and find a wonderful balance between an old ballet dancer and a vulnerable lumberjack. How he puts his leg to the other! But Lien Wildemeersch is touching her Belgian softness and expressive body language. Two people feverishly dance around each other, each searching and maybe find. "Until the infinite silent, motionless, multicolored heart of the malaria." Nouvelle Vague Writer and director (and poet, visual artist, novelist) Peter Verhelst has Hotel Malaria like a tribute to the French filmmaker Alain Resnais, who participated in the Nouvelle Vague. A film full of flashbacks, ijldromen and indefinable sounds (beautiful music of Bitch). A poetic tribute to the recently deceased master of French cinema. Who longs for answers, theater and a complete memory loss story, better stay home. Anyone who wants to give an hour of silence, beauty and contemplation: go! Hotel Malaria NT Gent is still played until March 21st.
