Sawdust Symphony – 10:00 – Zoo Southside

Carpentry and circus collide.

In Sawdust Symphony Michael Zandl, David Eisele and Kolja Huneck combine their passion for crafting, object manipulation and fresh wood.

The piece explores the human desire to create: the process from vision to construction, the tragedy of work and the relationship between tools and humans. Obsessed characters discover and transform their space and themselves, transporting the spectator into a unique DIY experience.

Sawdust Symphony is an intense dialogue between satisfaction, frustration and the smell of gasoline.

Michael Zandl, David Eisele and Kolja Huneck got to know each other during their studies at the circus university Codarts in Rotterdam and became good friends with complementing artistic approaches. Through the process of creating their individual solo pieces Michael, David and Kolja discovered their passion for building and crafting. This is what brought them together to create "Sawdust Symphony" as a collective.
