Theatre highlights in October 2023

The new theatre season is open and filled with drama, performance and spectacle. These are my highlights for October.

Swiss premieres

The play "The Way Back" by British playwright Dennis Kelly hits right at the heart of our times. It illuminates current social issues and plays with the idea that history is ultimately an eternal cycle.

Der Weg zurück

Kellertheater Winterthur

Der Weg zurück

Eine spannende und aufwühlende Zukunftsvision aus der Feder des vielgespielten Dramatikers Dennis Kelly.

In "Stage abuse (Don't I love it anymore or do I love it too much?)" by Sivan Ben Yishai, audience and performer collide. In a humorous way, she examines what happens on stage, the audience:inside space and ultimately the status quo of theatre.

Artificial intelligence in theatre

The Schubert Theater Wien presents the fast-paced science fiction thriller "Blade Runner" with virtual reality glasses, stirring music and reduced but cleverly used puppetry.

«Blade Runner»

Theater Ticino Wädenswil

«Blade Runner»

Der rasante Science-Fiction-Krimi mit Humor, Tiefgang und einem überraschenden Plot-Twist bietet als Figurenschauspiel etwas ganz Neues.

A unique show of "Artificial IMPROlligence" is presented by Das Impro Kollektiv at Karl der Grosse. Let yourself be inspired by the unpredictable dynamics and immerse yourself in a world full of innovations.

For music lovers

The ensemble metanoia performs the sociocratic opera "das geklaute gehör" at the Walcheturm art space. It tells the true story of Mamoru Samuragochi, who pretended to be deaf and celebrated great success with the music of his ghost writer. The piece reflects on our own ideas of artistic work and authorship and questions the ensemble's forms of collaboration.

"EN MI IMPERIO PERREO SOLA" by Daniela Ruocco counters the sexist and violent reggaeton music world with a glamorous, feminist alternative. A blast of Latinex poetry, performance and concert-like mass.
