Steven Beersmans and Ellis Meeusen - Showcase

Against the background of an impending bankruptcy due to the arrival of a large book 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 (Showcase) is a performance about steadfastness and comfort and about how the power of literature can be greater than you think. What if all lives are being written right now? Vitrine stands for pure joy of playing with a beautiful cast that does not shy away from the big gesture. An ode to the genre of the romantic comedy and a plea for the book trade.
