LANDING
And then, flop, you find yourself somewhere. On earth, for example. Or in some weird theatre play with your mum or dad – or your baby or toddler. Did you need to rush? Have you landed yet? Landing, wasn't that something with gravity? Klinggkerdingklonnng!! that was bicycle bells falling. And Wofff!! there goes a pillow. Sounds like a tiny song. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts, we are landing. Kaboom-plats-rakatata…!
Landing is about landing. Arriving on earth. And really being there. About the moment of arrival and what we need to be able to land. A musical piece for all senses, for anybody who has ever dropped something in amazement.

Theater info
Jasmin Hasler was invited by Ingrid Wolff by 2 Turven Hoog Festival in The Netherlands to develop her work further in the context of the youngest audience. For this piece Jasmin, who has often performed her own pieces, wanted to create the imagery, costume & be the outside eye. She asked mime actor Kajetan Uranitsch to perform and do this research together. She provided the materials and he played with it. Via improvisation with the materials, the various parts of the performance developed. After they found a red thread (literally) within this material, Tanaquil Schuttel was invited to compose the sound. In the meantime Jakob Proyer worked on the space in which the performance should take place. Mathilde Fournier created a wonderful dreamlike image for the poster.
Jasmin Hasler grew up in a little village in the Austrian’s mountains. When she was 14 she decided to go to the big city Vienna to study Textile and later Landscape Architecture at BOKU. After traveling around the world she studied theater making at the theater academy in Utrecht (HKU) in the Netherlands. During her last study she developed a big love for sense, physical and visual theater, drawing inspiration from the Body Weather LaboratoryAmsterdam. She collaborated with Teatro de los Sentidos (Barcelona), sjamandada, and Schweigman&. Her work has an minimalist yet poetic, tactile touch and plays on the border of textile, installation, the body, theatre & ecology.
