Long before our time, millions and millions of objects suddenly appear out of nowhere, hovering, colliding and spinning to the beat of chaos.
Spheres, soap bubbles or perhaps planets?
For order and harmony to emerge, someone has to take the time to bring order into the chaos. And that someone is Zero, who will tell the audience his own version of the creation of the universe in this story through circus, theater, juggling and music.
After the performance, there will be a post-performance talk with the artist and the production manager, where you can take a look behind the scenes and see and try out the props.

About the Location
Originating from the private collection of 3,500 objects belonging to world traveler Wilhelm Joest, the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum of Ethnology exists in Cologne since 1906.
Under the motto “The human being in his worlds”, visitors can look forward to an exciting themed tour across 3,600 square meters of exhibition space. The multi-award-winning exhibition concept addresses topics that move people all over the world, but which they encounter in their own way depending on their regional and cultural background. The comparative cultural approach emphasizes the equal existence and equality of all cultures and provokes thoughts and approaches to a dialogue. The inclusion of our own culture in the comparative approach helps to put our own point of view into perspective.
