Francesca Van Haverbeke (b. 1988) is a Belgian artist living and working in London.
Artist statement, a play by FVH:
FVH comes out left stage, walks centre stage, takes a bow,
retches playfully.
FVH opens mouth, closes mouth. Opens mouth again; this time mouth remains open - no sound is heard.
​
FVH shakes limbs. Perhaps a dance.
The unsuccessful dance gets a standing ovation.
FVH walks off stage.
Curtain.
The audience murmur in a moribund fashion.
What a circus!
