Against the background 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 nù?
Vitrine is a location theater performance that refers in content to the romantic comedy. A player performance with a brand-new theater text that does not shy away from the grand gesture. An ode to the genre of the romantic comedy and a plea for the book trade.
