Sung portraits on canvas

Pieter Embrechts takes to the stage for the Festival of Equality with a cross-pollination of cinema, music and theater. 

For this musical documentary, he traveled to the bustling Borgerhout within his city. The result: an honest and sung portrait of the residents of Antwerp's Turnhoutsebaan.

A Street Concert

In recent years, Pieter Embrechts has interviewed fascinating people who living, working and walking on the Turnhoutsebaan in Borgerhout, Antwerp. 

These stories have been processed into songs and cinematic portraits. After the success of the The first tour will follow the revival, complete with a book with CD and DVD.

“The Turnhoutsebaan symbolizes the balancing act of the multicultural urban society that every European city knows. Antwerp has more nationalities than New York and has the highest number of nationalities in the world after Amsterdam. After a walk on the Turnhoutsebaan you have been to all continents.”
