"Flying violins! Speed-skating ballerinos!" That's how the show Släpstick is being billed by the New Zealand Festival of the Arts.

David Morriss talked with two of Släpstick's five members about the show: Rogier Bosman (the world record holder for “most notes articulated on an occarina in a two-minute span while wearing a swan tutu”) and Jon Bittman (world authority on the Zanzithophone).
