Schërzo
What you need to know
- No Dutch needed, since the jokes come through music and physical comedy
- Real classical repertoire, so kids hear Rossini, Brahms and Saint-Saëns between the gags
- A full-length theater show, not a short kids' piece, so it suits school-age kids more than toddlers
About
Släpstick is a Dutch troupe of musical clowns, and Schërzo is their slapstick take on classical music. They play Rossini, Brahms, Saint-Saëns and Gershwin while everything goes wrong: a yodeling Schubert, a ventriloquist duel with a bust of Beethoven, tennis with violins, the Danse Macabre on theremin. Meervaart tags it "language no problem," so kids with no Dutch can follow along.
