The company the kickpäck, founded in the summer of 2016, stands for highly physical theatre, for theatre, which tells a lot with simple means – with minimal stage and maximum bodywork. Christian Peter, clown, musician, tight rope walker and the co-founder of Triko Cirkus Teatar Zagreb and Franziska Pack, acrobat, theatre teacher and performer of the company “das vogelpack” (Berlin), are combining acrobatic and dance elements with guitar, trumpet, loop machine and well-dosed text to stories and situations in which the invisible moments become visible and in which movements turn into sounds.
The kickpäck wants to celebrate – because those who celebrate together, will not fight each other so easily.
And the ingredients of a party are so simple: drinks, music, decoration – and the people! The audience becomes part of the celebration and witnesses how the duo deals with the to-do list of party preparation. When stacking beer crates and hanging pennants, the stage design and sound carpet builds up.
