Beer Tourist, Wunderbaum, Holland

Beer Tourist
Two full-mouthed English football fans on a cheap drinking holiday in Eastern Europe. Through a stream of abuse, prejudice and insults they offer their own verdict on the ‘European project’. Energetic, funny and thought-provoking, the show plays with national stereotypes with sometimes shocking bluntness.  

Concept and directing: Wunderbaum
Co-producers: Rotterdamse Schouwburg, NTGent
Duration: 50 minutes

The project is comissioned by Black/North SEAS

Wunderbaum
This Flemish/Dutch performing company create their own brand of socially engaged theatre.
Wunderbaum consists of a core group of five actors and an illustrator, and work without a director. They create their own texts on themes such as alcohol, violence, politics, asylum seekers or the anti-social behaviour of youth. The group often works in a site specific way and in collaborations with other groups. Wunderbaum often perform outside their Dutch/Flemish home base, and have met with success while performed at festivals and theatres in the United States, Italy, Switzerland and other countries.
