SHITSHOW PART 2

Back to THEATRE

Following their BROKEBACK SHITSHOW, Louis Verlinde and Gina Beuk are once again joining forces for a new SHITSHOW.
With SHITSHOW 2 (your shit is our show), Verlinde and Beuk explore the crossover between a fashion show and a theatrical radio show. SHITSHOW 2 investigates the improbable multiplicity of our world and examines the catwalk as a theatrical space. The show addresses ways of living—and surviving—and how to cope with that multiplicity, sketching a portrait of our times in an almost anthropological manner. It is a catwalk performance that cannot choose between order and chaos, beauty and trash, or "into the wild" and "into the city." For this SHITSHOW, Gina and Louis are collaborating with the Theatre Costume department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp.


The trashy quality of BROKEBACK SHITSHOW is as amusing as it is unsettling. (...) Louis and Gina seem to be making fun of the high-pace entertainment of today which is made with only one goal in mind: it must sell. It’s a great, sneakily entertaining parody, but it precariously balances on the edge of what it parodies. - Ugnė Noreikė in Etcetera , 14 december 2023
