Physical Theatre
The Man in the zOOm
One small step for mime, one giant leap for mime-kind

 

Fantastic for all ages as there’s lots to see, predict, enjoy and laugh about.
Nundah SS about Ludwig Schukin’s In zOOm

Performed by Ludwig Schukin, former acrobat, aerialist and clown with the famous Great Moscow State Circus and Cirque du Soleil, delivering a highly skilled physical performance, The Man in the zOOm includes mime, acrobatics, slapstick, juggling and magic.

This is a comic journey of sadness that makes you laugh, magic that questions your senses and a cascade of diabolo juggling. The story follows a  man utterly bewildered by every new experience he encounters, but delighted to find his own way through what is an ongoing riddle. 

Ludwig Schukin trained and performed in Russia among some of the world’s greatest performers, touring internationally before moving to Queensland. He continues to share his love of physical theatre with Queensland students – this is a rare opportunity to see international talent in the classroom. The Man in the zOOm is scheduled to tour to Hong Kong in 2009. Produced by Schukin Entertainment. Concept by Ludwig Schukin and Andrew Cory.
