Slapstick - Scherzo

“Schërzo” is a unique kind of mischief, where hilariously funny scenes and clowning meet sophisticated musical performances. What a spectacle: Four Dutch music clowns creatively poke fun at esteemed composers. They know how to entertain. After all, Släpstick has been inspired for over 25 years by legendary comedians like Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and the Marx Brothers. And their concept works. Award-winning and internationally renowned, the music theater troupe is coming to Germany with their Dutch humor and their new show “Schërzo” – following a successful premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe and performances in China and South Korea. “Schërzo” is a unique kind of mischief, where hilariously funny scenes and clowning meet sophisticated musical performances: Schubert competes against Beethoven in a ventriloquist contest, a speed demon escalates at the double bass; and we can’t wait to see how Släpstick manages “21 Masterpieces in 1 Minute.” In this clownesque concert, no one is safe, neither the great composers nor their masterpieces. A wonderfully comedic journey through the scores with plenty of physicality, quirky instruments, a musical fireworks display, and surprising twists. An evening for all ages and a workout for your laughter muscles. Guaranteed.
