YUM! looks to the future – albeit in a grotesquely satirical way. A blend of opera, performance art and extended reality, the theatre piece by Chinese composer Wen Liu and French librettist Sarah Théry transports the audience to a decadent dinner at which pleasure becomes an illusion and consumption an abyss. In this project, digital technology merges with live performance to produce a sensual, bitter-sweet commentary on our times. YUM!, directed by the French stage director Benoît Bénichou, will be performed at the Werkstattbühne on 20 and 22 August 2026.
The concept for YUM! comes from the Vienna-based Studio M.A.R.S., a young international collective with expertise in music, theatre, media art and immersive technologies. The concept won the team the FEDORA Digital Prize in 2025.
