Tochtgat in Bloos

After Kadrage and DEEG, Peter Vandemeulebroecke and Jef van Gestel create the new performance Tochtgat: visual theatre as a moving painting with frames that are blown away.

A world blows by. In a landscape of dancing pieces of fabric, plastic bags, and floating cubes, two endearing figures wander who have long lost the battle against the wind, but will not give up. How do we relate to something that is both fertile and destructive? Tochtgat plays with the aesthetics of draped fabrics in paintings by Rubens, the recognisable humour of slapstick, and the impact of life-sized modern visual artworks.
