Michael Zandl, David Eisele en Kolja Huneck combine their passion for crafting, object manipulation and the smell of freshly sawn wood. Three obsessed characters provide the audience with a unique DIY experience, discovering and transforming their workspace and themselves. Sawdust Symphony is an intense dialogue between frustration, euphoria and the smell of gasoline.

In a society where old-fashioned craftsmanship seems to disappear, this contemporary circus show focuses on the human desire to keep on creating: the process from vision to construction, the relationship between human beings and tools and the tragedy of working on a project.

Press

  • “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)
  • “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)
