300 el x 50 el x 30 el

"With a dark, disconcerting humour – not a million miles from an art-house League of Gentleman – 300 el x 50 el x 30 el peels back the surface of rural life to both sympathise with and sneer at those that live there."

"The cryptic title refers to the dimensions of Noah’s ark as described in the Bible, and the scale is appropriately awe-inspiring: The village that New York audiences will discover in “300 el x 50 el x 30 el” will accommodate a cast of 15, supplemented by scores of locally hired extras, live pigeons and, of course, that forest."

"Theatre of the appetite that knows no bounds. (…) FC Bergman is a bunch of show-offs. At the invitation of Toneelhuis, they made a brand-new play for the Antwerpse Kleppers festival and they did it in just one month. (…) David Lynch, Lars von Trier, Martin Mc Donagh, Roy Andersson, the associative imagination, the cinematic surprise shoot into action seat by seat. As does the trolley-mounted camera. In a continuous circular movement it reveals the inside of six miserable hovels where slices of life are served up. In the undergrowth pointless movement. A live event takes shape, a visual spectacle unfolds."

"A bombardment of wordless images which compound into a sinister play about a community in the grip of a secret fear."

"Unnerving, eccentric and funny, 300 el x 50 el x 30 el clearly shows why FC Bergman has acquired such a good reputation in a very short space of time."

"The images are impressive and beautiful. A sense of unease descends upon the auditorium, settling here and there in the form of goose pimples or hairs standing up on the back of your neck. There is often a great deal of laughter, too, triggered by the absurdity and audacity of a series of very able guest actors."
