Chop-chop!
Meet Spanish and English—two vibrant, exaggerated caricatures struggling to coexist. One wants to cook, to flow with life; the other insists on following plans and schedules. Will either of them accomplish their mission?
Chop-Chop! dives into the clash between toxic productivity and procrastination through energetic physical comedy, sharp wit, and playful storytelling. In this eclectic one-woman Spanglish show, bilingual performer Andrea Holland brings these opposing forces to life:
“Her ability to make both characters relatable, flawed, and endearing is a testament to her talent” (Pink Prince Theatre).
At its heart, Chop-Chop! is an ode to food and connection, a riot of wit and flavour. It celebrates the beautiful mess of bilingual minds, exploring the paradoxes within us that shape who we are. With satire and humour, the show embraces cultural stereotypes to highlight the conflict between two sides of the same identity, drawing from the performer’s personal experience.
Absurd, ridiculous, and laugh-out-loud funny, Chop-chop! holds up a mirror where we can see our own contradictions and laugh at them.
Join us in the battle between the emotional and rational sides of the brain—Spanish versus English... or is it the other way around?
