Christian van Eijkelenburg
Small TalkTheater Heerlen - Kleine Zaal
A humorous theatre trip that will set all your senses on edge and then send you back out into the world full of wonder and euphoria
Laudatory reviews, the Stijgend Applaus Stipendium and a nomination for the Neerlands Hoop: Christian van Eijkelenburg can no longer be left out of the cabaret landscape. With a beamer full of breathtaking visuals and a soundboard full of electronic sounds, Christian takes you in Small Talk, directed by Maike Meijer of Toren C, to an absurdist performance about the sense and nonsense of everyday talk.
Painfully recognisable and bruisingly funny
Eight billion people hurl their words into the world every day. To each other, over each other, past each other. Blah blah blah. Christian gives that multiplicity of voices a stage in his performance and tries to bring order to the endless overkill. But where the f*ck should he start? And how hypocritical is it that he's now taking the floor himself? Brace yourself for an evening of awkward conversations, selfish failures, embarrassing silences, theatrical wiseguys and insane twists of thought. Painfully recognisable and above all witty
