GROCK – The Incredible Story of the Century Clown

Description

Actor Philipp Langenegger reads solo from the memoirs of Grock – the century clown and one of the most extraordinary Swiss artists of the 20th century. After successful performances with music, the evening is now presented in a reduced, particularly immediate form: only with text, voice, and presence. This concentration makes the reading intense and close. Centered are Grock's own memories – his rise from a simple artist's child to a world-famous clown, his tireless search for precision, his humor, his melancholy, and the person behind the mask. Philipp Langenegger guides the audience with linguistic power, fine sensibility, and narrative liveliness through a life full of glamour, discipline, doubt, and great stage moments. The solo version vividly demonstrates how strongly Grock's story works even without external means: as a touching artist portrait, as a piece of Swiss cultural history, and as an evening about the power of theater. A dense and touching reading evening – reduced in form, rich in effect. Participants and additional information: Philipp Langenegger
