Production Details / Press Releases
Get ready, take a run at it, address the void:SLAP/STICK is a solo celeb-rating a constant denial of efficiency, the vastness of space, and involuntary action as a motorfor a journey through nonsense, naivety and ecstasy. Ins pired in Henri Bergsons text “Laughter an Essay on the meaning of comic”, Hermann dives to the physicality of absentmindedness, exaggeration and mechanical movement. Using made up Brazilian dances and gestural mate-rial of several comedians, SLAP/STICK searches for an essence of the comical body in what way this essence points to something constituting us as humans?
