With ‘Foreshadow’
With ‘Foreshadow’, Alexander Vantournhout brings the back wall of the theatre to the fore. A high wall cuts the podium in two and makes the remaining space too small for the eight acrobats on stage. Is the wall an obstacle, or does it actually create new possibilities?
In this way, Vantournhout re-examines the relationship between gravity, movement and space. But where in ‘SCREWS’, ‘Through the Grapevine’ and ‘Contre-Jour’ the floor was given a prominent role each time, Vantournhout is now concerned with verticality.
