FEAST. A show about food. From primitive struggle, through the baroque excess to technological perversion, how has our relationship with nourishment changed throughout history?

This wordless and grotesque show employs physical theatre, clowning and multimedia to delve into the evolution of humanity, exposing consumerism’s excesses and extremes.

With cascades of milk, raw steaks, live feed webcams and plenty of soil FEAST is an hour of virtuosic anarchy the like of which you are unlikely to have seen before.

Clout Theatre are bringing FEAST to The Lyric Theatre in Bridport on October 14 and 15 – for an extraordinary, highly visual contemporary piece of theatre.

Formed in 2012, Clout Theatre met and trained at the prestigious Lecoq theatre school in Paris. They made their first show rehearsing in Paris squats and the grimey aesthetic has formed the foundations of all their work.

Although their performance style contains strong influences from their training, they have carved out their own theatrical language and now make work heavily reliant on the visual, grotesque and strange.

With members from Russia, England, France and Turkey, they strive to make physically bold theatre for an international audience. Using absurd humour, violence, mess and visual poetry, their work deals with the sublime and the ridiculous in equal measure. They have performed worldwide and are now based in London and Istanbul.

n Clout are at The Lyric with two nights’ performances on Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15 at 8pm.

The performers will be doing a workshop in physical theatre on the Saturday at 10am until 1pm at The Lyric.

Tickets for the show cost £12, and are available in advance from Bridport Arts Centre.
