Ralf Schlatter, born in 1971, is a writer and cabaret artist
based in Zurich (Switzerland).
In Maliaño, he is telling the story of Gustav Julius Kaufman,
who decides to leave work and daily routines behind and starts walking westbound. He is on his way to a town called Maliaño, located on top of a hill, and find Ida Nordpol Zeppelin. She is responsible for the weather radio station and has been waiting
for a steady high pressure area for seven years. Now it is on
its way and is named Gustav.
A love story in blue and white.
