compagnie nik: Im Glück

In the organizer's words:

A clownish solo based on the fairy tale Hans in Luck | ages 6 and up

Shortly before the start of the clown duo Göttmann and Gemselein 's performance, Gemselein hands his partner his notice. Seven years have been enough, he says. Now he wants to go home to his mother and demands his wages. After a tearful farewell, Gemselein leaves. On his way, he makes one "favorable" exchange after another - just like Hans im Glück once did - until he finally returns home empty-handed, but relieved and overjoyed in the truest sense of the word.

Im Glück poses the question: What do we really need? Do the mountains of things that we produce, buy and throw away again make us happy? Isn't less really more?
