Hans Was Heiri

"Sparkling brilliance"

- LE NOUVEL OBSERVATEUR

Like magicians conjuring up something out of nothing, Zimmermann & de Perrot elicit hidden meaning from objects, bodies and sounds. That is why the international press has defined them variously as "unpredictable circus performers, breathless dancers and traditional musicians". After Gaff Aff, Öper Öpis and Chouf Ouchouf, these celebrated performers are again attempting to explain the inexplicable.

Hailed by the critics as "a gentle madness" and a work which is "funny, touching and profound", Hans was Heiri builds on the insight that we humans are surprisingly similar when it comes to basic needs and desires. Does life often seem to fail simply because we, as individuals, try so hard to be unique and different?

In Hans was Heiri, Zimmermann & de Perrot approach this conundrum with wit, humour, frustration and philosophical depth. Together with five outstanding circus artists and dancers, they again succeed, based on the artistic quality of their production, in taking audiences to places beyond expectations.
Different, the same, or just difference in sameness? Hans was Heiri is as much one thing as another.
