FOOD is an exploration of the relentless cycle of human consumption - an absurd and immersive circus performance that challenges our perceptions of excess and indulgence. A simple act of eating gradually distorts into a frantic, almost mechanical ritual, where our consumption habits slowly transform into something grotesque, surreal, and disturbingly hypnotic.

 

FOOD serves up an eccentric feast, inviting the audience into an abstract and at times bizarre world driven by our endless appetite for more.
