Öper Öpis - Athens Epidaurus Festival

A sloping stage acts as mirror of an absurd world. Martin Zimmerman and Dimitri de Perrot are to be introduced to Greek audiences with a show that skilfully combines circus acts, dance, music and visual arts. They adopt a silent cinema vocabulary to destabilise partners, concepts and perspectives. A balancing act on a see-saw stage, the laughter flows effortlessly as these inventive Swiss masters parody the mechanisation of life in a world filled with instability and uncertainty.
