Staged concert for families and children aged 5 and up. 'When everything goes wrong, all you need is a little friendship and a touch of magic!' Everything seems to go wrong in this staged concert: missing bows, broken power cables – and even the loop station pedal, which is supposed to help the musicians record and play back, seems to be getting in the way. Will the duo manage to complete the concert without failing miserably? PIZZ'N'ZIP is a story about differences and the unlikely friendship between two very different characters. It's about trying to do your best—even when things go hilariously wrong. In the end, true friendship saves the day, because together is always better than alone. And sometimes... machines aren’t the answer after all. PIZZ'N'ZIP is conceived as a chamber music concert with light, sometimes clownish elements. The musical program combines classical, modern, and contemporary works from various regions of Europe, creating a diverse, stylistically rich setting.
In May 2025 a revival of the reworked show is underway: brand-new special effects, new musical compositions and some spectacular new scenes. At ARISTON @eschertheaterwe present an expanded show, specially reworked. Pizz'n'Zip is full of new features! A Pizz'n'Zip like you've never seen before. We can't wait to see you again—loyal and new spectators alike—to share this new phase of our project with you!
