THIS IS FUCKING CHAOS explores chaos in all its forms, from personal unrest to global crises like climate change and inequality. Theater maker Annica Muller uses humor to address these heavy themes with honesty and vulnerability, revealing how chaos can spark creativity. Inspired by her past work and personal reflections, she invites the audience to embrace life’s uncertainties together. The result is a celebration of imperfection and a search for stability in a constantly shifting world.
Muller immerses herself in the comedy scene, exploring direct audience connection and the art of crowd work. Her approach remains flexible, evolving with her personal and artistic growth. She aims to push the boundaries of stand-up comedy: how performative can it be? How long can a punchline be delayed by addressing serious themes or real pain, yet still find humor? Her focus is the serious absurdity of life—so unfunny it becomes funny, so serious it turns absurd.
Annica Muller draws inspiration from everything she encounters, from high art to shiny kitsch. She idealizes pop culture, romanticizes spirituality, and rejects dogmas. Her work is often driven by a quest for meaning and redemption, where the boundaries between fiction and reality are tested. Through this exploration, Muller invites her audience into a theatrical journey that blends performance, mime, and text-based theater.
Her performance Yogi Anni (2021) was nominated for the BNG Bank Prize and won the Amsterdam Fringe Award.
