JAMES<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Mauro de Candia\u2019s imaginative and theatrical creation JAMES is not a narrative portrait of the extraordinary artist\/painter James Ensor. Instead it depicts in a series of balletic tableaux that which influenced this great avant-garde Belgian in his search for artistic truth. Drawn into the process is one of JBA\u2019s favourite collaborators, Julie Coppens who made the incredible masks, depicting characters chosen from Ensor paintings.
A hybrid and deeply-nuanced mixture of art, music, dance and atmospheric lighting, JAMES is lauded by critics and public alike, touring to many venues in the country during the 75th anniversary year of the artist\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JAMES was made possible with the support of VGP Foundation, FOD Buitenlandse Zaken and Vlaanderen – verbeelding werkt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
