Synopsis 

Nunc is a glimpse into a world that is both primitive and posthuman. The visceral theme of hunger is transformed into a material tale of an alien yet familiar dimension, captivating audiences of all ages.

The performance explores the contrast between the natural slowness of agriculture and the speed of industrial production, engaging the audience's senses through sight, taste, smell, touch, and sound in a timeless ritual.

Nunc layers various theatrical languages, prompting reflections on the historical consequences of our actions. Its dramaturgy unfolds through sound, space, masks, and objects, crafting a poetic journey that amuses while inviting deeper contemplation.
