For Bêt noir Wim Vandekeybus and fourteen young actors have thrown themselves into the adaptation of Sophocles' Oedipus myth by Flemish playwright Jan Decorte (1999).

In his very specific style Jan Decorte distilled the essence of the story, rewriting the play in a very fragmentary, childlike, condensed language.

The young actors are accompanied on stage by the Fanfakids. From their base in the Brussels' district of Molenbeek, this colourful brass band is slowly but surely gaining ground. They play a mix of styles such as raï, maracatu and hip hop. Their instruments: bass drums, self-made PVC drums, Brazilian tamborims, African bells and Moroccan nfars.
