SCHËRZO
Schërzo is a clownesque concerto for the ages where a seemingly highbrow classical concert glissandos into a bacchanal of comical mishaps and absurdityInternationally renowned Släpstick is coming to Splendor, bringing their unique brand of mischief to the grand concert halls of Europe and beyond! Schërzo is a clownesque concerto for the ages where a seemingly highbrow classical concert glissandos into a bacchanal of comical mishaps and absurdity.
Neither foppy-wigged composers nor their magnum opus are safe from this buffoonery. Behold as a marble bust of Beethoven comes alive and challenges his fellow sculptures to a yodeling battle-royale! Hold your breath as Schubert’s Erlkönig laments his dying son while prancing on a trampoline! Gasp in amazement as the ghost of George Gershwin accompanies an entire symphony orchestra played by only five musicians and led by an inflatable conductor!
It's Chaplin meets Tchaikovsky, Buster versus Bernstein, and Groucho Marx does Mozart, all rolled up into one raucous show!
Släpstick presents Schërzo: an evening of classical music as you’ve never experienced before. Don’t call it a come Bach, it sure ain't no symphony, and it’s SO not a sonata! Schërzo!
Släpstick:
Wilem van Baarsen, Jon Bittman, Rogier Bosman, Sanne van Delft, Jaap Rovers (multi instrumentalists)
