Founded 14 years ago by six artists in Belgium, the theater collective FC Bergman is known for poetry and anarchy. The group’s latest lyric rebellion—the production 300 el x 50 el x 30 el—is a riff on the story of Noah’s Ark, and takes its title from the ark’s measurements. Turning the stage into a village in the woods, complete with live animals, this piece sees one group of villagers preparing for a flood while another group films their precautionary measures. The 70-minute show is wordless, yet comes with a warning: it includes nudity, sexual content, and violence. —Jensen Davis
