About us
Susanne & Konrad Reiter – behind Rizzi & Kürbis
As Rizzi & Kürbis, we bring clown artistry together with giant soap bubbles and music. Our work grows from direct exchanges with the people around us. A glance, an encounter or a shimmering bubble can become a shared moment of wonder and laughter.
Our approach to clowning
We see clowns as open, receptive partners who respond to people and situations. Childlike honesty, a joy in living and a gentle approach to failure shape our play. They make room for fresh perspectives and shared moments in everyday life.
