A black circle. A pendulum traces a delicate spiral in white sand. Movement creates patterns, and the patterns become images. The images intertwine, one layering over another: disappearance and emergence. The circle echoes the circus ring, where danger and vulnerability are real. Nothing can be hidden. Everything is there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A long time ago, Ueli Hirzel was a circus acrobat\u2014more precisely, a tightrope walker. He later moved behind the scenes and, at his Ch\u00e2teau de Monthelon in France, created a space of freedom for emerging artists. With Hirzel\u2019s support, numerous influential and groundbreaking productions outside the mainstream came into being.Today, Ueli Hirzel no longer performs great feats of acrobatics when he steps onto the stage. Instead, he brings along a few brooms and offers us something like the essence of circus life\u2014or perhaps of life itself. One might call it the radical wisdom of old age, even though Hirzel seems anything but old as he reflects, with both himself and the audience, on what it all means. <\/em> \u2013 Ursula Huber<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance will take place on Friday, November 13, in Swiss German, and on Saturday, November 14, in English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
