BULK

A hypnotic harbour show.

Every day an invisible flood of goods flows into our country. From gas to rubber ducks, from soy to vacuum cleaners – world trade never stops.

Everything travels, everything moves, everything crosses political and geographical borders. But where does all this stuff come from? How do they find their way to ports like Rotterdam?

Together with musicians Moritz Bossmann and Quartus Vlak we create an energetic and hypnotic concert in the harbour about never-ending flows.

We make a list and seek order in the chaos. We categorise, inventory, classify to get a grip on the multitude. We sing and dance until we drop, get up again and fall again. Because the flow never stops.
It is never enough.


We perform on location in the harbour - with a view on the water, containers and passing cargo ships.

“An absolutely exhilarating experience yesterday with the Dutch company Wunderbaum’s performance of BULK at Honnørkajen.

It was quirky, beautiful and compelling. A loving yet critical look at ourselves, our way of life, the structures of society, and the pretty wild world we live in.

Political theatre at its very best – without any finger-wagging, but with energy, musicality and bucketloads of insanely good humour.

I love everything about it 💜”

Audience response during Aarhus Festuge, Denmark

“The result is an immersive sensory journey that invites audiences to see the familiar from an entirely new perspective.” KULTUR Information

“Genius show led by dreamteam” ★★★★★ Volkskrant

“A great performance, swinging, smart and super funny and with an almost endless energy that sometimes leaves the audience breathless” Theaterkrant

“With BULK, Wunderbaum delivers one of the most ingenious creations and memorable theatre experiences of the season. After this performance, you will never look around your comfortable living room in the same way again.” E-tcetera.be
