With dynamic choreography, serious and humorous narratives and special effects such as smoking balls, the strength, determination and vulnerability of footballers are staged and the audience is inspired to question prejudiced attributions. &#8220;alive and kickin'&#8221; champions diversity and equal opportunities and encourages conversations about representation in the world of sport. Foot juggling, soccer freestyle, dance and texts in different languages (German, English, Turkish, etc.) not only deconstruct the game and ball control, but also reflect and question sporting events in a globalized world. The show breaks expectations and invites us to laugh together. A call to change perceptions and question prejudices.    A project that goes beyond the game and incorporates overcoming barriers and celebrating everyone in sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alive and Kickin&#039; \u2013 Kick Off Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dP4n4A-dxdM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arianeoechsner.com\">Ariane \u00d6chsner, Idiom <\/a>(AT)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-img-fluid\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/zirkusquartier.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Ariane-Oechsner-Portrait-by-Mic-Oechsner.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zirkusquartier.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Ariane-Oechsner-Portrait-by-Mic-Oechsner.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/zirkusquartier.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Ariane-Oechsner-Portrait-by-Mic-Oechsner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zirkusquartier.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Ariane-Oechsner-Portrait-by-Mic-Oechsner-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zirkusquartier.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Ariane-Oechsner-Portrait-by-Mic-Oechsner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zirkusquartier.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Ariane-Oechsner-Portrait-by-Mic-Oechsner-380x253.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The cultural association Idiom was founded in 2022 by clown Susa Siebel, designer Lukas Kadan and artist Ariane \u00d6chsner to create low-threshold, accessible (social) political circus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section id=\"\" class=\"sectionblock \" >\n  <div class=\"section-inner\">\n    <div class=\"container-lg\">\n      \n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Audience information<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hat collection: <\/strong>The show is based on hat collection.
