Eins Zwei Drei
Packed with visual collisions, Zimmermann’s wordless theatre has circus, dance and visual-arts roots. Here, with live piano accompaniment, a tasteful museum space catalyses, in tragi-comic manner, the violence and complexity of human passions… As the three characters (at once actors, dancers and circus performers) come up against the institution’s walls and their own limits, and things go irresistibly askew, what chance survival? Will the seeds of conflict finally cause them to snap, or rewrite the rules?
