In 2009 the choreographer, theatre and film maker Wayn Traub sold his artistic name, killing his “ego” in public, and started a journey from China to Southeast Asia. Since 2011 he’s back, embodying the new identity of Petrus with a new company Service To Others. Now a dynamic multimedia Trilogy Of The End operates from performances, films and music to expand in its internet website The Book of Petrus, created between Asia and Europe.

At the age of 24 the film and theatre maker Wayn Traub (born Geert Bové, Brussels, 1972) wrote a Manifesto of Animal Theatre, presenting his singular style of Ritual Theatre. He became internationally renowned with the multidisciplinary pieces Beasts, Wayn Storm and Les Mises-en-Traub. As artist in residence at Toneelhuis in Antwerp he created his Wayn Wash Trilogy, inspired by biblical figures: Maria-Dolores (2001), Jean-Baptiste (2005) and Maria-Magdalena (2009). In the research project Arkiologi / N.Q.Z.C. (2006-2007) he analysed the potential of Ritual Theatre as a new theatre language.

In his work, Wayn Traub starts from personal experiences to reach the universality of myth. As an experimental artist dealing with the sacred in the heart of his work, he tries to bother as much as to fascinate. Working with artists of diverse nationalities he creates a hybrid art that can be described as opera-cinema-concert-theatre.
