Small Talk: An Absurd Theater Experience

In 'Small Talk', Christian van Eijkelenburg utilizes a beamer full of visuals and a soundboard of electronic sounds to dive into the overwhelming flood of words we encounter daily. He dissects everyday chatter to its core, only to reconstruct it into a sensory, absurd, and hilariously theatrical experience. This performance centralizes the meaning - and absurdity - of everyday dialogue. Eight billion people fling their words into the world every day, to each other, about each other, alongside each other. Christian provides a platform for this multitude of voices, attempting to impose order on the endless overkill. But where on earth does he start? How hypocritical is it that he now takes the mic himself? Brace yourself for an evening filled with awkward small talk, ego-driven failures, painful silences, theatrical know-it-alls, and insane thought spirals. Uncomfortably relatable and supremely funny. 'Small Talk' is a humorous theatrical journey that sharpens all your senses and sends you back into the world with wonder and euphoria. *Excluding refreshment costs.* **ABOUT CHRISTIAN VAN EIJKELENBURG** Christian van Eijkelenburg is a distinctive voice in Dutch cabaret.
