The world of these two Swiss performers revolves quite literally on a turntable. Rubber-limbed circus artist Martin Zimmermann spins his way around a day's existence, lived out in DJ Dimitri de Perrot's fabulous live soundscape. Each inspires the other's next move or sound. Consumer society being temporary and disposable, they work in a stunning decor made of carboard. Need a throwaway house, a chair, table or even a cat? All appear at the press of a thumb on a section of wall. A fascinating balance of power between characters, movement and music, 'Gaff Aff' comes to London direct from a five week season in Paris. Martin and Dimitri have been working together since 1998. Martin trained at circus schools in France and Canada and has performed with French new circus troupe, Anomalie. 'Zurich Musician of the Year' Dimitri de Perrot is one of Switzerlands best known live DJs and a successful composer for tv, theatre and film. They first appeared in London at LIMF 2003 with 'Gopf'.
