Meeting Fadhel Jaibi's work

JUNUN-The Insanity by Familiar ProductionsThe first Tunisian performance I watched tonight at the Tokyo International Arts Festival was quite an impressive work. Though I did not understand a word and had to make imaginative guesses from the translated subtitles in Japanese, the overwhelming poetry of the language used in JUNUN-Insanity was almost visual. Varied energy and rhythm was asserted by the well choreographed group movements and economical mise-en-scéne, reinforced further by the precise articulation of lines and the brilliant acting of the major actor playing the insane boy. The most appreciated fact: no multi-media chiché. (Image by Dali LAMOUCHI from the festival website)

Usual Party after show opening
And, it was always nice to have the casual party to meet the artists, with wine and sushi after a show's opening in Japan. I learnt what the artists were saying through the French interpretation. Felt a bit strange, like being a spy. But why should I?
