Karls kühne Gassenschau

Karls kühne Gassenschau is in the widest sense a Swiss circus, variété or open-air theatre, based in Zurich.

[3] The multimedial supported artistic shows, focussed on large installations as a seasonal theme, usually are fixed at locations for one theatre season, sometimes as the present since 2014 in the municipality of Winterthur and St-Triphon,[4] some years ago in Wallisellen or at the so-called Saffa-Insel on occasion of the Zürcher Theater Spektakel.

Ida, played by Gassenschau co-founder Brigitt Maag, sinks into an artificial pond, which quickly empties itself.

According to technician Otmar Faschian, this scene was planned very carefully and then practiced again and again until it no longer poses any danger to the actress.

[8] Some present Swiss acts and personalities, among them Ursus & Nadeschkin respectively Nadja Sieger,[9] and Sandra Moser[10] started their career as part of the show.
