Mercimax

(Zürich)

Ballet Automobile

A farewell road trip with Fribourg drivers

Climb in and let’s hit the road! Because tonight, all the streets are a stage. Mercimax has created a nostalgic dance routine, performed by classic car enthusiasts, drivers of eco-friendly cars, environmental activists and tour-bus owners, and, of course, their vehicles. A romantic and murderous symbol of freedom, the car is unlikely to feature in the transport solutions of the future. Eight drivers from Fribourg share their very personal relationship with horsepower, speed, being on the road and sustainability. Joined by two actors, they will reflect on the end of an era for road transport as we know it, in a street theatre performance, with a difference.
