FOOD

Michael Zandl

★★★★

With FOOD, circus theater maker Michael Zandl has created an appealing, clever performance about the temptations of food and overconsumpton. It is hilarious how the interior comes to life and literally bursts at the seams. - Annette Embrechts , de Volkskrant

FOOD is a performance worth framing. - Tom Permentier, Pzazz

From cartoonish to body horror: inventive and layered circus theater. - Wendy Lubberding, Theaterkrant

Food could be summed up very simply as a crescendo of chaos.- Michael Hasted, ArtsTalk Magazine

This humorous spectacle isn’t your ordinary feast. FOOD invites you into an amusing and, at times, bizarre world of consumption. Fueled by our very own appetite for more.

What begins as a simple act of eating gradually transforms into a maniacal, almost mechanical ritual. We watch as the boundaries between desire and necessity blur, giving rise to something grotesque, surprising, and disturbingly hypnotic. Through acrobatics and object manipulation, these witty circus performers create a vivid physical language. One that questions not just their own, but perhaps even our collective consumption habits – habits subtly shaped by desires that may not be entirely our own.
