Piñata Cake (creation 2024-2025) - Gaël Santisteva

This new project Piñata Cake (working title) is inspired by the spectacular unveiling technique using fabrics, generally used in the automobile to introduce the public to a new product. A metaphor for scoops and revelations, the project will cover our relationship to money, consumption, excrement and what we choose to reveal in society.

In a succession of visual revelations, the performers will be led through spectacular fragments to show us all sorts of things in a surprise effect. This new show will revolve around very marked rhythm changes or caesuras, performed with great freedom of tone so that astonishment is perpetually present. Its dramaturgy should also question our relationship to one-upmanship, change, novelty and consumption.

Piñata Cake will première from 4 till 8 March, 2025 at Atelier 210 (Brussels, BE). Contact us to receive a presentation.

After TALK SHOW (2017), Garcimore est mort (2021) and Voie, Voix, Vois (with Saaber Bachir and Antoine Leroy, 2023), Piñata Cake will be Gaël Santisteva’s fourth project.
