I Hate Theatre I Love Pornography
Het Houten Huis
Bloemsingel 10c, 9712 KZ GroningenWhat happens when the body becomes a spectacle - On stage, on screen, in war? I Hate Theatre I Love Pornography rips into the theatre’s polite walls and exposes all the rotting corpses underneath.
A pumped-up satirical train-crash on corruption
Made in the aftermath of Lebanon’s collapse and against the backdrop of ongoing conflict across the Arab world, Lebanese collective Zoukak Theatre hurl their own bodies into the spotlight. At a time when destruction is live-streamed and fear is policy, the question is no longer what we see, but how we watch.
A barrage of confessions, provocations, and dark humour crash into each other at full speed, leaving no room to breathe - manic, satirical, unrelenting. With irrepressible energy, Lebanese collective Zoukak Theatre dissect the obscenity of systemic power and the deafening silence that follows.
This is theatre that mocks itself while setting itself on fire. Unapologetically political, theatrically unhinged, defiantly alive.
