Technology and nature do battle with an unlucky fool caught in the middle. Joe Dieffenbacher of company Nakupelle is the clown in this sublime piece of pure slapstick built around a forever collapsing step ladder. Hilarious physical comedy, a unique and unusual performance.
It was the high point of the festival. Every detail of his show is carefully constructed ... With a never ending stream of comic business, movements, actions and reactions, he kept the audience spellbound. The talent to pretend as if he invents and experiences everything for the first time during his performance, highlights every detail. " a clumsy virtuoso, An elastic looser. This is slapstick in the very best tradition, that of Chaplin and Buster Keaton." Jos Prop, Limburg Festival.

Joe has just completed a UK tour with Take That in which he played a part in the spectacular circus show that introduced the concerts, arriving on stage inside a giant balloon!
