Souvenirshop

A Mona Lisa hoodie? An umbrella with a Magritte apple? Stockings on which Monet's water lilies float? After each city trip, you expand your very own mini-museum and memories pile up in your wardrobe. Alexander Vantournhout takes a deep dive into his own souvenir collection and turns it into a show. Jumpers, trousers and all sorts of garments combine to form a choreographic story. Sleeve holes pop up in unexpected places, trouser legs grow into gala dresses, and zips open up into whole new dimensions. Acrobatics! Dance! Fantasy! What once dangled idly from a clothes hanger now unfolds to reveal compelling scenes. This is Vantournhout’s first creation for a small and wide-eyed audience. Dancer Miguel do Vale turns his creation into magic.
