Big axe. Big muscles. Big existential dread. CHOP is a violently stupid and stupidly violent dive into fragile
masculinity, environmental doom, and the absurdity of it all.
Even when the world is burning and nothing makes sense anymore - a “real man” chops wood because that’s what “real men” do.
As the chopping intensifies, the cracks begin to show.
There’s danger and there are laughs, and a creeping crisis of identity. (Probably yours.) It’s dark, ridiculous, and absolutely unmissable.
Created by Cian Austin Jesus (Lords of Strut), CHOP continues the company’s signature blend of circus, satire, and anarchic physical comedy. Known for shows like Absolute Legends and CHAOS, Lords of Strut has captivated global audiences with its outrageous humour, physical prowess, and skewering of modern culture.
