In Sawdust Symphony Michael Zandl, David Eisele and Kolja Huneck combine their passion for crafting, fresh wood and object manipulation.

The piece talks about the human desire to create: the process from vision to construction, the tragedy of work and the relationship between tools and humans. Obsessed characters discover and transform their space and themselves to take the spectator into a unique DIY experience.

Sawdust Symphony is an intense dialogue between satisfaction, frustration and the smell of gasoline.

Michael Zandl, David Eisele and Kolja Huneck graduated 2017, 2018 and 2019 from Codarts Circus Arts in Rotterdam and became good friends with complementing artistic approaches. Through the process of creating their individual solo pieces ‘Janus’, ‘Cycle’ and ‘CM_30’, Michael, David and Kolja discovered their passion for building and crafting. This is what brings them together to create as a collective.

PRAISE FOR

Sawdust Symphony
„The circus- and theatrical performance of the trio is phenomenal, stunning. We want to see more of this world of magical illusions!“
KULTUR - Zeitschrift für Kultur und Gesellschaft
„Sawdust Symphony is unique; I have not seen anything like it on stage, in the circus ring or anywhere else. There were echoes of Dada, Samuel Beckett and even Alien but there were moments of breathtaking brilliance, inspired originality and astounding wit. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.“
Arts Talk Magazine
„With their piece, the three circus artists symbolized the collaboration between people and nature. A symbiosis that couldn‘t be more beautiful!“
