The power of words links two hit shows from Belgium’s SKaGeN company, performed by the astonishing Valentijn Dhaenens.
BigMouth is a crash-course in the art of rhetoric, interweaving fragments of speeches by famous figures from ancient Greeks to Hitler, from the Grand Inquisitor to Martin Luther King, Osama Bin Laden, Mohammad Ali and George W. Bush, into one frightening whole. Dhaenens employs not just his voice but his entire body to show the good, bad, and downright ugly sides of mankind through the ages, revealing the magic of oratory as an irresistible force of persuasion. Songs by Nirvana and others tell their own stories as BigMouth examines justice, war, racism and retribution in a monodrama where past and present are in a constant dialogue.
