High-Octane Performance: Concentration, Balance and Elegance

Performer: Mädir Eugster, Fragile Balance - Our World is out of tune, has lost its balance! A highlight in André Heller new Magnifico show, Rigolo founder Mädir Eugster proves his mastery of capturing those precious moments of balance and serenity, which we all long for! The present-day shaman starts building a giant mobile - a dream catcher, a highly fragile object - in trance-like movements, keeping each and every spectator as much in breath-taking suspense as the palm ribs it is made of. And it works! Balance is achieved - a moment of bliss. A wondrous murmur rises in the audience, their breaths relax. Alas! This bliss is fleeting, just like a phantasy. His goal achieved, the master steps forward to destroy it, thus telling us: Is finding, and is losing balance not our destiny, and searching with an ever new beginning? The media are full of praise and comment on his appearance in Magnifico as a breathtaking moment. The audiences seem to experience it the same way, given the frenetic applause and sometimes even standing ovations. The Magnifico tour in the mega-tent will be on tour in Hamburg, Dusseldorf, and Stuttgart from autumn 2011, and will travel through Europe in 2012. Mädir is Darko's friend on Facebook.
