“The Tailor” at Carthage Theater Days 2019

Gardi Hutter:

Since 1981, Gardi Hutter has taken her clown theatre halfway round the world,
putting over 3700 shows in 35 countries so far. She has created 8 theatre and
1 circus productions and been awarded 18 prizes for her art.  She performs in theatres and barns, concert halls and culture factories,  festivals and favelas – greeted with enthusiasm by public and press wherever she goes.
Whether she appears as washerwoman, mouse, prompter or tailor, her almost wordless solos uncover tiny, absurd universes in which the characters put up a brave but forlorn fight for happiness.
The tragicomedy is remorselessly carried to the limit, to the delight of the audience.
Gardi Hutter’s stories are tragicomic parables of the today world, with moll and without moralizing. Her characters show all facets of female non-virtues: tousled, fury, nasty, crazy, touching and poetic. The press calls her a “comic phenomena”.
