In Ruedi Häusermann’s tenth production at the Schauspielhaus Zürich, the musicians of the Henosode Quartet (Henosode, a Bernese dialect expression, means “That’s the way it is”), are joined on stage by seven players. Together, they explore the mysterious connections between music and space, and conduct various experiments: How does a cloud wander? How can we make people and objects disappear? How do we capture an echo? It is about concentration, zeal, and the discoveries that can be made when there is no objective. Häusermann tells us about astonishment at what can be achieved in art: that we seemingly occupy ourselves with nothing. The evening, which, as always, is a secret concert, climaxes with a surprise – in a coarsely subtle paean to the theatre. We are unable to reveal more here.
