A story of desire and catharsis. Come and purify your soul through the filth these five performers will throw in your face. In this performance, revelation lies at the heart of the process. But is it the revelation itself that will surprise you, or rather the desiring process into which it draws you? Pinata Cake blurs boundaries and expands contemporary perspectives on circus performance. Somewhere between stand-up, dance, physical theater, and circus, virtuosity is set aside in favor of a dramaturgy that focuses more on the relationship with the audience and self-reflection than on a clear and precise narrative.

The performance opens with an invitation: let go of your expectations, prepare for anything, begin from zero. No expectations, no disappointment. The following minutes are steeped in mystery. On stage, a naked body slowly emerges, barely visible to the eye. Glued-on moustaches, disguises, and trimmed mullets accompany the performers as they step out from their hiding places under dim lights and suspended music. The cake is whole, and the audience waits.
