How Things Go - Von B bis Z

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

The performance is inspired in part by The Way Things Go (1987), an art film by Swiss artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss, which documents a long causal chain of everyday objects. Just like the long tradition of silent film and its founders such as Chaplin, Keaton, Llyod & others.

In "How things go", two men try to build something remarkable for their lives. Along the way, their encounter with the objects triggers a chain of reactions in which failure is embodied in the architecture of their plan. But they don't give up and keep their sense of humor.
