Laugh now cry later
LAUGH NOW - CRY LATER
Dance project with young people from 7 nations
The Spanish clown Charlie Rivel was one of the most successful circus artists of the 20th century. A nomad and international traveller who survived two world wars. German audiences particularly loved him - and he loved the Germans. Hitler and the Nazi regime, as well.
This discrepancy should not be ignored.
"Josef Eder's choreographies are of fascinating intensity. The way he has tailored the roles of 80 young people to their bodies is unbelievable. Social and cultural background, type of school, age, or physical handicap are not important here. The 80 dancers form a united community, and conjure up the complex theme with grace and ease, employing bold imagery on stage and a compactness in their portrayal, that is effortlessly transmitted to the audience. Mesmerising..."
