Foreshadow

After VanThorhout, in which Alexander Vantournhout appears alone on stage, not standing returns this time with a group piece: Foreshadow. To the sound of experimental rock music, eight acrobatic dancers explore the limits imposed by a vertical surface. What if a high wall cuts the stage in two, leaving the dancers with a space too narrow for eight? Is the wall an obstacle or does it create new possibilities?

Whereas in SCREWS, Through the Grapevine and Contre-jour, the ground plays a predominant role, in this new show, the dialogue in this case is executed vertically. With Foreshadow, Alexander Vantournhout takes his study of the relationships between gravity, movement and spatiality a step further by bringing the back wall of the theater to the foreground of the stage.
