WALLCLOWN
Wall Clown is a distinctive performance full of humor and charm – based on a simple twist of perspective. The visual trickery is not hidden, but rather forms the central element of the performance, making the audience a marveling and laughing accomplice.
“ A unique, brilliantly staged and choreographed spectacle...”

The Performance
lasts up to 25 minutes and can be enjoyed either in one go or in several parts - depending on what is needed. This flexibility, and above all its incredible comedy, garnished with a good dose of poetry, make Wall Clown a versatile entertainment tool that will also enrich your event with unforgettable and weightless moments!
Two Realities
exist simultaneously and engage in a fascinating and hilarious interplay as there are the physical stage set with the performer playing sideways and an "upright" live projection of his performance, in which gravity and the character seemingly lose orientation...

"Touching, funny and downright poetic..."
"The effect is fascinating!"
"Acrobatic movements create wonderful formations and humorous slapstick."
"Okay, the man is an acrobat. He doesn't stand normally in the room, but does a one-handed side support horizontally against the wall. Which logically comes across as normal on the screen, but what is logical in this show? What is normal? On closer inspection, everything, but nothing feels normal."

TOBIAS
WEGNER
was born in 1980 in Heidelberg. From a young age, he had a penchant for circus clowning and the subtle comedy of the silent movie era. At the age of nearly 20, he made it to Brussels' École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque to turn his passion into a profession.
There, he completed training to become a state-certified artist with a diploma in partner and trampoline acrobatics.
Since 2003, he has worked across genres in various international projectsat the crossroads of theater, dance, opera, and circus - from Schauspiel Frankfurt to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin, from Southbank Centre London to Théâtre de la Cité Internationale, Paris.
His greatest success to date is a theater production called LEO - a 65-minute solo performance by and with Wegner, which builds on Wall Clown. Together with four other creatives, Tobias developed this evening-filling performance, which premiered in August 2011 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
It walked off with three major theater awards and began to tour worldwide. To date the piece has been performed over 1000 times in 35 countries and has been presented in renowned theaters and performing arts festivals in Vancouver, Montreal, New York, St. Louis, Miami, Madrid, London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Tehran, Harare, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Okinawa, Melbourne, Sydney, and Auckland.
Tobias Wegner is currently working on a new piece and is supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste.
