LONGSHOT MEGABUCK$ THE ART OF CELEBRATION Longshot Megabucks started in 1986 with a group of performers and festival artists getting together to offer packages of entertainment, decorations and activities to events, festivals and major venues. Over the years we have formed and reformed in various groupings. The long term view was to gear up for the then upcoming Australian Bicentennial celebrations and to put together a travelling fayre, a combination of performance venue and market. This became Circus Solarus which itself , after much growth and evolution is still performing.

Gimme Theatre combine contemporary performance and themes with Commedia dell'Arte to produce a style that is fast, funny, physical, a bit satirical and highly absurd. They might be compared to other companies such as Ophaboom in the UK, who are reinventing the form to reach a wide audience while staying true to the Commedia spirit. The stunning leather masks used by the performers are made by Antonio Fava

Ich lebte vor ?ber 300 Jahren und war Gr?fin vom Schlo? Heiligenberg. Die Leute mochten mich, denn ich war sehr freigiebig und gab viel den Armen. Eines Tages, als ich um drei Uhr wie immer beim Kaffeetrinken war, sah ich drau?en einen Reitersmann n?herkommen. Er klopfte an und sagte zu mir: ?Guten Tag Frau Gr?fin, diese Schriftrolle ist vom Abt des Klosters Salmannsweiler (heute: Salem)." Er ?bergab mir das Papier, verabschiedete sich und ging. Ich setzte mich hin und las den Brief. Es war eine Einladung zum Abendessen.....

Lothar Lempps Objekt-Komik-Theater A skurril performance with objekts, and masks made from objects. Nebelschwaden - D?mmerlicht, pl?tzlich ein gigantisches Unget?m: eine Riesenraupe. Sie kriecht langsam vorw?rts. Ihre Augen: hell strahlende Fahrradscheinwerfer, die Haut: Jutes?cke und ?bergest?lpte Fahrradreifen. Ein Schrei, glei?endes Licht, die H?llen fallen und schon steht Lothar Lempp auf der B?hne. Was dann folgt l?sst sich kaum auf einen Begriff bringen. Comedy, Maskentheater, Musik, Performance, das alles findet statt in seinem Programm ?SACHEN SUCHEN?. Nichts ist vor ihm sicher, kein Alltagsgegenstand, der nicht als Maske belebt oder als Instrument zum Klingen gebracht werden kann. Auch die Zinkwanne im Weltraum und der verstopfte Abfluss in der Oper sind f?r Lothar Lempp nicht nur denkbar, sondern auch spielbar. ?Man muss sich in die Dinge hineinbegeben, um die Perspektive zu ver?ndern ? nur so kann man sein Bewu?tsein erweitern.? Diesen Rat f?hrt Lothar Lempp auch praktisch vor: Er steckt seinen Kopf zur mentalen Reinigung in den Staubsauger, meditiert ?ber Rei?n?gel und Zollst?cke und kommt zu dimensionbrechenden Erkenntnissen. Musikalisch wird das Ganze noch untermalt durch innovative Instrumente wie Eierschneider und E-Schrubber. Lothar Lempp verbl?fft und begeistert. Indem er Ungew?hnliches mit gew?hnlichen Dingen macht, erschafft er eine phantastisch-skurrile Poesie der Zweckentfremdung.
