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.

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.
