About this Event
Axes chop. Wood flies. Egos splinter.
is a dangerously funny, wildly absurd descent into fragile masculinity, environmental collapse, and the insatiable hunger for more. Expect real danger, real questions, zero solutions.... and a lot of laughs.
This is the kind of show you come out buzzing from: funny, physical, slightly dark, and full
of heart. At its centre is a lone wood-chopper stuck in a strange, end-of-the-world loop,
hacking away as everything around him falls apart.
Blending slapstick, clowning, and high-energy physical comedy... with real axes and real
wood chopping! CHOP turns eco-anxiety, masculinity, and our messy relationship with
the planet into a fast, joyful, and surprisingly moving experience. Part absurd spectacle,
part urgent provocation, it sits at the turning point between collapse, connection, and
change.
Target Age: 12 – 17
