This show is like good coffee – bitter, like life; black, like the future; yet somehow  strangely enjoyable. "Schwarz" Matthias Romir’s Kunstfigur „Schwarzclown“ in a bitter sweet study of a clown on the edge.

Expressive juggling meets depressive clowning and naive mask play. "Schwarz" is a  mishmash of strange ideas and a pledge of strong feelings; it’s a show that gets under your  skin. But above all, it’s dead funny.


In the hands of the strange character on roller skates, the helium balloon’s airy  effortlessness takes on a grotesque note. Out of the playful struggle with the pitfalls of  possession, a simultaneously touching and hilarious story about uncompromising love soon  develops. The art of failure is brought to its logical conclusion.

Matthias Romir grew up with the European juggling-scene festivals, where he discovered  his passion for performing at the tender age of 13. The passionate self-taught artist is  known for his musical, narrative juggling style on the boundaries of clowning and object  theatre, as well as his weird characters and profound black comedies. Along with solo work  at theatres and street festivals, he has toured with the Tiger Lillies' Freakshow and with  Circus Quantenschaum, among others.
