HOW THINGS GO - Von B bis Z

Two men try to build something. But what they set in motion keeps slipping away from them - things take on a life of their own, tipping, stumbling, slipping and falling. In the midst of this controlled chaos, a sense of humor is revealed that laughs not at failure, but with it. And the plan of the two madcap characters? It remains fragile. But they keep at it - with curiosity, tenacity, a good dose of slapstick and self-irony.

"How things go" takes the art film The Way Things Go (1987) by Swiss duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss as its starting point - and continues to spin its chain reactions with a wink. The golden era of silent film - with heroes such as Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd - has also left its mark on this new circus performance, which is peppered with plenty of humor.

A production that combines new circus, physical and object theater with elements of clowning.

"How Things Go" delights young and old alike with acrobatic ideas, funny failures and poetic lightness. A show for the whole family - pure action without words.
