Cantina (with sign language interpreter)

In Spain a cantina is a place near the train station where you can have a quick drink or snack, comment on the news and curse your boss. In Italy it is a chilly cellar where you keep your wine and other things to titillate your taste buds. In the Netherlands a ‘kantine’ is an often bleakly furnished room with long tables and lukewarm fried snacks. In Mexico? A place with plastic chairs, colourful walls and sun-bleached parasols where you get drunk, engage in hot debates, and if need be, end up fighting each other.

Cantina by the Antwerp theatre company Laika is all these things balled into one. A place where actors and singers will transport you. Where they serve simmering desires, hot peppered secrets and plain truths. But most of all a place that serves surprisingly delicious dishes. Hungry? Laika satisfies with sensory, elegant and imaginative theatre. Share the canned dreams & good food!
