Marc Haller - Hoppla

Marc Haller is a jack of all trades. A good thirty-two years old, the career of this native of Zurich reads like a success story from a Hollywood movie. Already enthusiastic about magic at the age of 14, his path led him to Verscio (TI) to the Scuola Teatro Dimitri and then to the Lee Strassberg acting school in New York. Last but not least, the graduate of the Musisches Gymnasium in Zurich also holds a degree in acting from the Conservatory in Vienna. This "training backpack" leads Marc Haller straight to the stages, always with his quirky alter ego "Erwin". The quirky, somewhat uptight but always amiable Swiss is the main character in his show. And this show has it all! It is neither classical comedy nor classical magic. But a sophisticated mixture of both. They like to draw from both pots of ingredients. "Everyone is looking for freedom, but they are not free at all. I would like to invite the audience once again to take their time and help themselves to the ingredients of life that they like", says Marc Haller about this potpourri. Anyway, the comparison fits the kitchen, because the similarities are obvious. Marc Haller does not serve McDonald's fast food, but creates a tasty, deeply philosophical menu that also touches on current affairs. "With an open mouth, people are receptive. Thus, my main task is to make them laugh. I want my audience to get involved in something and discover something new as a result. It's like a journey into a dream world. With Erwin as the tour guide..." Haller grins mischievously. But he also knows how to convince in serious roles. Among other things, he played leading roles in Erich Vock's big hit "Stägeli uf- Stägeli ab" and successfully mimed Punch and Judy on the Zurich fairy tale stage. The winner of the "Prix Walo 2013" and the "Swiss Talent Award 2014" deliberately stacks the deck low. "The magician always sits on his high horse and has an aura of untouchability. Erwin, however, is the scatterbrained type who is just as likely to not find his ticket on the bus in the seat next to you or accidentally spill soup all over his pants in the restaurant." Which brings us back to food... Or to Erwin from Switzerland, who we've all run into before. Marc Haller has long since ceased to be a prophet in his own country and has been successfully touring the neighboring German-speaking countries for years. And always to sold-out houses. So it is not surprising that he reached the finals of the ORF show "Die grosse Comedy-Chance" and made it to the top 3 in Switzerland on "Die grössten Schweizer Talente". Various other TV shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as appearances on "Das Zelt - Dinner Spectacle" and "Das Zelt - Comedy Club" round off his curriculum vitae. "Erwin from Switzerland" is back! The somewhat uptight, but always amiable Swiss is also the main character in his new solo program "Hoppla!", a journey through Erwin's crazy world and since autumn 2019 on a big Swiss tour. This program has it all. "Erwin" searches for the meaning of life together with his audience and shows how "oops moments" can make you successful. Swiss and tasty like a cheese fondue. www.marchaller.ch Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator. It may contain translation errors.
