Hans was Heiri – Holland Festival

You hold your breath as you watch seven performers dance, climb and tumble in a fully rotating house on stage. With a mix of acrobatics, dance and music the Swiss ensemble Zimmermann & de Perrot literally put day to day situations in a different perspective, exaggerating them, twisting them and taking them to new extremes. Hans was Heiri, meaning six of one or half a dozen of the other, deals with people always wanting to be different from one another, while actually being very similar. With a light touch, an acute sense of humour and perfect timing the company unfold their wondrous universe. Virtuoso physical theatre for all ages from 10 years old.
