gardiZERO

Gardi Hutter, one of the most celebrated figures of clowning, presents gardiZERO, a wordless show that begins on an empty stage to reflect on the origin of things.

The performer faces a completely empty stage and discovers that nothingness is not, in fact, a space without content, but a source of possibilities. Starting from this idea, the show takes a comic and philosophical journey through the birth of things, in which order emerges from chaos and everything appears out of nothing.

Within the register of visual clowning, the production relies on the contrast between stillness and movement and on a strongly marked physical expressiveness. It is a piece without dialogue, visual and poetic in character, which invites the audience to pause and look attentively at the starting point of everything.

At the end of the performance a complementary activity is planned: a discussion with the performer about the creative process and the emotions the show evokes. The work is recommended from the age of ten and is a co-production of Theaterhaus Stuttgart, Theater Casino Zug and LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, written by Gardi Hutter and Michael Vogel, performed by Gardi Hutter and directed by Michael Vogel.
