A settlement in the middle of nowhere: alone or in groups, the residents play through situations, domestic scenes like mechanically carried rituals between absurd comedy and a diffusely threatening violence projected by live cameras into the view of he spectator. 300 el x 50 el x 30 el shows a village of isolated individuals, paralyzed by the danger of a catastrophe to come: a trip to the dark side of reason that deals with the painful beauty of failure.

FC Bergman is part of a new generation of young actors and screenwriters whose work is shaped by performance, happenings, dance and film. Emerging from the same class at an Antwerp theater school, the group consists of six actors and screenwriters who have found a temporary location for their work at Antwerp’s Toneelhuis. Their name pays homage to the spirit of the collective (FC) and the universal power of the image (Ingmar Bergman). The world premiere of 300 el x 50 el x 30 el in the framework of the Klepper Festival in 2011 in Antwerp was a surprise hit, bringing the group to international prominence overnight.
