Rapid Succession of Seasons in a Short Span of Time
In the heart of Münster, the Canadian acrobat group Flip Fabrique brought a burst of spring to the city, despite the April-like conditions. The group, led by the lively clown Raphaelle Pepin, presented their show "Seasons" as part of the GOP's premieres this year.
Raphaelle Pepin, with her charmingly chaotic comedy, led the audience through an immersive and dynamic experience, connecting with them in a way that felt genuine rather than acted. She mentioned that making clowning look easy is hard work, but the result was a performance that was both entertaining and thought-provoking.
The show took the audience on a journey through the four seasons, using a blend of unconventional clowning, acrobatics, and thematic elements to explore each season. The first stage was accompanied by energetic Charleston music, while Raphaelle interacted playfully with large red beach balls to the musical embodiment of summer, "Copacabana".
Amélie Granger performed a tightrope act accompanied by David Kushner's "Daylight", creating a touching moment that showcased the group's physical skill and theatrical storytelling. The show also featured various acrobatic acts such as group rope jumping, duo unicycle acrobatics, hula hoop performances, juggling, and a vertical fabric act.
Raphaelle Pepin found a connection with the audience during the performance and expressed satisfaction after the premiere. She also mentioned that she found Münster wonderful and expressed interest in living in the city.
Jasmin Otman, editor of ALLES MUENSTER, who moved to Münster from Mönchengladbach, enjoyed the diversity of gastronomy, culture, and nature in the city. She has written articles about the "Four Seasons in Two Hours" show, a benefit football match, and the next carnival ruler announcement.
