  «Dizzy
Heights»
Theatrical Clownery at its peak!
Screen-busting Live Cinema!
Once again, gifted American artiste Sylvester has pulled off a major
artistic coup, combining the best elements of theater and film to
create a new form of dramatic art: Live Cinema. With breathtaking
rock-climbing scenes, dazzling special effects, intimate love scenes
and slapstick fireworks, watching this show is like going to the
movies! Join Sylvester and his action partner Sabina as they scale
the dizzy heights of comic cabaret on a fantastic mountaineering
adventure in the Swiss Alps. But watch out: dangers lurk even in
the most friendly-looking mountains. In "Dizzy Heights",
no-holds-barred action comedy duo Full House performs a high-wire
act literally within the framework of a large movie screen. Clambering
about on ropes, suspended in positions you would not think possible,
"Dizzy Heights" is a spectacular spectacle of a type never
seen before: neither theater nor cabaret, slapstick or musical,
it really is a new form of "Live Cinema", a play within
a film! Again and again the characters climb out of their "movie"
to let the "real" couple, Gaby Schmutz and Henry Camus,
explain how they actually do their gags, drawing the audience into
their own (true?) stories. This show has all the ingredients to
take us to the dizzy heights of mountain adventure, from hairy Yetis
and sizzling love scenes to dramatic action stunts and cool special
effects. Not just for climbing freaks, anyone who loves action,
laughter, acrobatics and adventure is warmly invited to scale the
"Dizzy Heights"!
Note from the artists:
Unfortunately this piece is no longer in repetoire.
The Yeti had to go back to Tibet, and although we love this show,
we are not so unhappy as our backs were pretty kaputt from loading
and unloading the scenery/scaffolding onto and off the top of our
van.
However, we’re talking with the Yeti’s manager about
touring the piece again sometime in the future, but at the moment
it’s tough negotiating with him (he’s holding out for
more snow).
