Theatre

A solo performance by Martin Zimmermann with elements of mime, dance, circus and tragicomedy. It is an attempt to fling the absurdities of his inner life inside out and get a grip on his bizarre thought processes. For the setting of ‘Hallo’, he has chosen a frame structure, turning it into a shop-window-type space to showcase a tragicomic figure driven by the desire to become what he appears to be. The staid and seemingly static framework turns out to be much more dynamic and fragile than one thought. The performer tries to adapt himself to the ever more out-of-control world of appearances. Objects come alive and fly around his head, magic overflows the space, obliterating the border between fiction and reality.
