FOOD - Michael Zandl

Four residents try to satisfy their infinite desire for food. Not only because they physically need it, but also because of the pleasure they derive from it: being together, tasting, and smelling. But what happens with destructive overconsumption? What if all the food runs out?\r\nFOOD invites you into the humorous, sometimes downright bizarre world of our food culture. Driven by our insatiable hunger for more. What begins as a simple eating scene grows into an obsessed, almost mechanical ritual. Slowly, the boundaries between desire and necessity blur, until something grotesque, surprising, and even disturbing arises…\r\nWith acrobatics and object manipulation, these circus makers write their own unique circus language. A language that not only turns their own but perhaps also your ideas about our eating habits upside down. An original and refreshing circus performance that brings a unique mix of genres, with the necessary dose of humor!\r\nMichael Zandl is an Austrian circus artist who graduated from Codarts Circus Arts in Rotterdam in 2027. In his artistic practice, he combines absurdity and abstraction, fueled by a passion for unexpected scenarios and subtle humor.\r\nFor all lovers of food, circus, and absurdism, from 10 years old.\n\nconcept Michael Zandl / performers & co-creation Fidel Rott, Hedvig Brodén, Jakob Vöckler & Karin Brodén / artistic advice Dennis Molendijk / outside eye Sara Sguotti, Ariane Oechsner & Arne Mannott / sound design Victor Maillard / lighting design Lisette van der Linden / scenography & effects Michael Zandl / costumes Germain Charlat / production Korzo / co-production Perplx, Winterfest Salzburg, Circuswerkplaats Dommelhof & CirkLabo / © Jona Harnischmacher\nmichaelzandl.com
