The spinach risotto with poached organic, Free-range egg, truffle foam and the edge of the chip fits perfect to kick off on the stage. A glass ball moves as miraculously from Hand to Hand and seems sometimes to float in the air. A Eso-Touch is in the room, this year’s edition of the Dinner-spectacle in the sign of Wellness. The Treatments are called: “sound therapy” or “gentle the smile muscles Activate”. My God, you might say. But the Buddhas on the wall look pretty stoned.
“Stille Kracht”, the eighteenth. The Christmas show has long since become an Institution. Four courses, five curtains, this is the formula for the four-hour evening in the festival hall of the casino theatre. Small art is combined with culinary delights. “You eat together without having to talk to each other”, once said the ‘ dressing room-Hazel Brugger on such occasions.
Here the menu is different. Firstly, The food is excellent, from the Starters and the fillet of beef up to Three of the Good Louise. Secondly, The audience talking, such as at the Premiere on Thursday, transversely across the tables. And sometimes you will be in the hall of an artist talking to. As always: Rolf Corver as a master of ceremonies Bitterli, he has devised the Show along with Pia Keel once. This year he is alone, it is the eternal Compagnons Madame Fafa and MS Sturzenegger missing. Sign up by Einspieler from a Spa Resort. May it go well there.
The naked Clown
An infusion is on the program. It is the soup. A rip-off but there are two stages in the hall, even if not every number in this year’s super original. The Rock-’n’-Roll dance couple Ioulia & Fabien throws himself into the air. Martina SWI has been in the Thurgauer dialect, which, as she says herself, is a Turnoff. Halle Baart from Canada shows the high art on the trapeze. But the evening is more than the sum of the numbers. To play together here, accompanied by the excellent The None Silent Crashing Orchestra. The artists also serve the soup. Clown Mick Holsbeke makes this naked under the kitchen apron.
It’s just a bit of paper but needs to come in a different state. This is the art of Ennio Marchetto, of course. He comes from the mask to the city of Venice, the invention of paper figures, and with them the great world came to Winterthur. Welcome To Mona Lisa, Udo Lindenberg, Dolly Parton, Karl Lagerfeld. In minutes, the paper changes man from figure to figure. From the waving Queen is by paper Freddie turn over Mercury of Queen.
Actually occurs Marchetto, who has played in London’s West End or on Broadway, a long time ago to Mixed Shows. He is, however, connected to the house, the casino theatre shows in February, his whole Show. Connecting lines of the circuit shows. As always, the chefs, the service staff will sing, the artist put together a song. The Text is the whole program: “Stille Kracht” makes you happy.
Further performances until 21. December.
