gardiZERO

After nine visually rich productions, Gardi Hutter returns to the starting point with “gardiZERO”: an empty stage, no words, only body, silence and imagination. The piece addresses audiences from 10 years upwards and blends comedy, philosophy and poetic images.

Highlights

• Wordless clown-theatre solo by and with Gardi Hutter
• Directed by Michael Vogel (Familie Flöz)
• Poetic and philosophical exploration of Nothingness
• Recommended for audiences from 10 years upwards

Concept

• After nine visually elaborate productions, Gardi Hutter radically resets her stage work and steps into an almost empty space.
• At the centre lies Nothingness – not as a void, but as a field of possibilities and hidden potential.
• From silence, tiny movements and unexpected gestures, figures, situations and stories gradually emerge.

Atmosphere and style

• No spoken words: the narrative unfolds entirely through body language, facial expression and rhythm.
• Opposites – quiet and laughter, standstill and new beginnings – collide and create striking, often surprising images.
• Hutter’s trademark blend of stubborn comedy and thoughtful reflection makes the piece both entertaining and moving.

For whom?

• Anyone interested in contemporary clown theatre beyond traditional circus imagery.
• Visitors who enjoy being drawn into a story through strong images and humour rather than dialogue.
• Young people and adults curious about philosophical themes such as birth, transformation and the start of something new.
