JUST EAT IT
Created by Anna Kopacek
They eat and eat – reviewing the food, mocking its labels, and interrogating the absurd expectations placed on bodies, especially femme bodies As the performance escalates, the clowns are faced with two options: to purge what they’ ve taken in, or to hold it all inside. The piece is a bold blend of clown, physical theatre, and social commentary. It’ s funny, disturbing, and intimate We want to create a show that balances play and discomfort, using laughter as a tool to access deeper emotional truths and spark meaningful conversations.
