Ellis Meeusen/Steven Beersmans - Showcase

Against the backdrop of an impending bankruptcy due to the arrival of a large bookstore chain, a small independent bookstore offers a refuge to young people with a reading list, those lost in life and love, and a writer with writer’s block. ‘Vitrine’ is a performance about steadfastness and comfort and about how the power of literature can be greater than you think. What if all our lives are being written right now? ‘Vitrine’ is a site-specific theater performance that refers in content to the romantic comedy and a theater text that does not shy away from the grand gesture. An ode to the genre and a plea for the book trade. With a top-notch cast!
