Hands-up comedy

The winner of the 2016 Baden-Württemberg Kleinkunstpreis is making a guest appearance with his current program.

He not only impresses with his comedic talent and his ability to improvise as a puppeteer and ventriloquist, but also fascinates with the art of shadow puppetry, which is rarely seen in Germany. There seem to be no limits to his shadow world. He creates comic figures and tells small, grotesque stories with dogs, flying swans and fish that are eaten by crocodiles.
What comes across so easily and seems to be taken from a cartoon is only possible after years of training.

During his mime and acting studies at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, he developed his unique theater with hands.
He is a welcome guest at festivals and guest performances throughout Europe.
Through an intensive encounter with the famous Indian shadow puppeteer Prasana Rau, he refined his hand-shadow play and still feels connected to this tradition today.
