In ha ha ha hi! a mediocre comedian attempts to tell a joke with a life-changing impact. However, he lacks the words or the right microphone setting for a real breakthrough. As he grapples with his shortcomings, he embraces absurdity, employing every tool at his disposal to create moments of comic folly. The solo performance ha ha ha hi! blends dance, circus, physical comedy and object manipulation. It celebrates the art of joking, cheerful silliness, raw humor, comic chaos and the beauty of happy futility. It invites the audience into a world where minimalism meets eccentricity and playfull foolishness becomes profound. With his newest solo performance Felix Baumann continues his work on the theme of "BODY, COMIC & MATERIAL" and devotes himself to humor as a choreographic, aesthetic and political tool of cultural practice.

About the Company
Felix Baumann (*1991) lives in Berlin and works as a freelance artist in an international context. In his work he focuses on an interdisciplinary approach that blends physical theater, dance, circus, and visual arts and uses humor to reflect about contemporary topics. His creations explore the interplay between body and material, (de)construction, comedy and circus, new materiality, and human-object ontology. Humor serves as both a tool of resilience and a creative engine, to examine contemporary issues, metaphors, and the absurdities of everyday life.
