Popcorn Machine (A domestic Apocalypse)

  • Circ

My! Laika

Welcome to the apocalypse. But don't worry - in the hands of this company, a richly talented new ensemble on the European scene, the end of the world is a Dadaist delirium.

If you have never been inside a popcorn machine, perhaps coming to see My! Laika will give you an idea of what it must be like… For this frenetically-paced show features not only circus of the highest technical standard, acclaimed all over Europe by audiences and critics alike, but also a neo-futurist aesthetic and a sense of humour bordering on the Dadaist that will sometimes make you laugh and sometimes freeze the smile on your lips. The production, with its fragmented narrative mechanism, clearly influenced by contemporary theatre, presents characters faced by extreme situations, who use the most demanding circus arts to express conflicts that are enacted inside each and every one of us. Be prepared: here is popcorn erupting from a volcano, atomic mushrooms and… tigers flying through the air.
