HONDA ROMANCE

HONDA ROMANCE

CONCEPT, TEXT & DIRECTED BY: Vimala Pons

In collaboration with the Zürcher Theater Spektakel

SCHIFFBAU HALLE

1 hour 20 minutes (no interval)

In this visually striking performance, a crashed satellite, an eccentric fashion show and a surge of emotions collide. Emotions shape almost everything today. Social media turns them into profit, politicians use them to steer decisions, and AI analyses them in real time.

HONDA ROMANCE is a fast-paced journey through shifting emotional states – a metaphor for a world of constant noise. The performance moves between comedy and seriousness, physical risk and mental overload. How do we stay steady amid it all?

In a musical score for ten performers, three wind machines and a satellite, acclaimed French director and performer Vimala Pons gets to the heart of the matter. Together with musician Tsirihaka Harrivel, she explores balance – and the forces that threaten it.  
 
Moving between performance, circus, dance and stand-up comedy, the performers plunge into physical and emotional extremity. An overload of stimuli in the best sense. What remains is the certainty of change – and the possibility that every disruption sets something new in motion.
