FOOD is a witty and absurd performance that throws the viewers into a surreal exploration of human consumption.

Through acrobatics and object manipulation, the circus performers create a vivid physical language that leads them into a journey questioning our very ideas of excess and indulgence.

What begins as a simple act of eating gradually transforms into a frenetic, almost mechanical ritual, where the boundaries between desire and necessity blur, giving rise to something grotesque, surprising, and disturbingly hypnotic.

This humorous spectacle isn’t your ordinary feast — FOOD invites the audience into an amusing and, at times, bizarre world fueled by our very own appetite for more.
