The passions of Christian Mader know no frontiers. As often happens, sceptics told him it was impossible to fly a hot-air balloon in the mountains of Alto-Adige. Christian wants to show them they are wrong. Being a professional clown for 25 years has helped him to open up his mind to new considerations. For him life is a continuous process of self discovery, both on stage and in the air, without fear, cultivating curiosity incessantly, like all genuine travellers. Travelling in a hot-air balloon becomes a metaphor for life: it means losing control, accepting the unexpected, trusting one’s own ability and having confidence in the wind, allowing oneself to be transported.
