Lod / Ahilan Ratnamohan & Josse de Pauw - Josse Jnr.
The lyrics by Josse De Pauw from the mouth of Junior, a Nigerian ex-footballer who sees the theater as an opportunity to no longer work in a factory. A spectrum of Dutch language proficiency, an exciting dynamic between author and actor, can be seen in Frascati.

Josse Jnr.
In Josse Jnr. theater maker and performer Ahilan Ratnamohan, together with Josse De Pauw and Etuwe Bright Junior, conducts research into language learning and the unavoidable power relations that arise from this. Junior is an economic migrant from Nigeria and sees the theater as a last chance to achieve something better than a job in the factory after a failed football career. Ahilan is a migrant from the much more privileged Australian context, but with Sri Lankan Tamil roots. Josse has spent a lifetime touring the world as a theater maker and is a star in his own country.
In Josse Jnr. together they look for what De Pauw's texts, stylistically so European and abstract, can mean on another body. How can these texts and aesthetics - which have largely defined the Flemish canon - achieve a different poetry? Is being Flemish transferable? Who can become a star and under what conditions?
