During the warm-up, we’ll playfully dive into GUGUS! movement elements, practice Dadaist onomatopoeia, create a fun GUGUS! fashion show, and explore ways to cope with stress and pressure to perform. It’s most fun when everyone joins in—kids and adults alike. There’s no age limit.
The warm-up is led by Rebecca Weingartner, choreographer of GUGUS!.
Start: 2:00 p.m. Duration: 30 minutes

What happens if we simply forget what we’re supposed to do and what we’re expected to achieve? With ‘GUGUS!’, Rebecca Weingartner invites us to enjoy a playful escape from everyday life. Following ‘EQUALITY!’ and ‘SOLIDARITY!’, which have already been performed at PURPLE, she completes her trilogy for young audiences – inspired by Dadaism, an art movement brimming with nonsense and a love of the absurd.
Circus artists Demian Bucci and Guilhèm Charrier whirl through a world of acrobatics, dance, music and onomatopoeia. They defy gravity, transform into whimsical creatures and leave the pressure to perform and the drive for self-improvement behind them.
‘Gugus’ means ‘hello’ and ‘nonsense’ in Swiss German. That’s exactly what it’s all about: letting go, marvelling, laughing and simply having a bit of fun!
