Food
Michael Zandl
Austria
This humorous spectacle isn’t your ordinary feast.
FOOD invites you into an amusing and, at times, bizarre world of consumption.
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 shaped under the quiet pressure of commercial persuasion.

CREDITS
PRAISE FOR
Food
"Like a walk-in painting, the stage of “Food” is constantly transforming—between a refrigerator, picture frames, and architectural magic, a poetic world emerges, filled with wonder and desire."
Kulturzeitschrift
"With sardonic pleasure, Michael Zandl holds up a mirror to our consumer behavior. FOOD certainly taps into enough layers to make you pause and reflect."
Theaterkrant
"Every now and then, a performance emerges that makes even the most seasoned circus-enthusiast marvel at the smallest things like a child. ‘FOOD’ by Austrian director Michael Zandl is one such performance."
