Diarrhea is My Favorite Color: Selection Theatre Festival

Diarrhea is My Favorite Color: Selection Theatre Festival

“The stage and the auditorium are increasingly merging into each other. The auditorium lights remain or are turned on unexpectedly. More and more, the audience is part of the artistic plan, making every performance a unique experience. The performance is who we are. One of the consequences is that trauma becomes lighter on stage: because it is fundamentally shared and thus also in part healed collectively” (from the jury report).

Between 1 May 2023 and 25 April 2024, the professional jury of the Belgian TheaterFestival searched the theatre landscape for the most interesting, socially relevant and innovative new pieces. Of the 175 performances that premiered last season, they chose 16 that fascinated them artistically, including Diarrhea Is My Favorite Color. And we are very proud of that!

From the jury report about Diarrhea Is My Favorite Color:
“You don’t often see a performance that has so much impact. It plays on so many layers, certainly more than the average youth performance of last season. At the same time dazzling, moving and grim: diarrhea has never tasted so good.”

You can experience Diarrhea Is My Favorite Color in De Studio Antwerp on Wednesday 11 September at 19:00.
The Theatre Festival takes place from 5 – 15 September 2024.
