Absurd theatre meets slapstick
comedy.
The set, which at first glance appears solid
and static, comes to life, bringing Martin
Zimmermann both opportunities and hindrances. The Swiss choreographer, set designer and
clown manoeuvres himself through a landscape
of constantly moving frames, boxes and lopsided rectangles. He alternately wears a long
coat, a helmet, a bowler hat and a sheet, and
occasionally takes time to do the vacuum cleaning. All in an attempt to find himself.
Objects come to life and fly around his head;
magic fills the room and erases the border
between fantasy and reality. Finesse and choreography combine with a feeling of chaos and
the impression that anything can go wrong at
any time.

Martin Zimmermann has appeared on stage for
over twenty years and in Hallo he loses contact
with reality, mistakes himself for his own mirror
image, folds himself up and becomes a piece of
scenery. All the while balancing on the fine line
between mastery and catastrophe.
