Dear Zurich,

You are a city of theatre and you have been for a long time. Your Schauspielhaus is now, as it has always been, one of the most important stages in Europe. We come here, to this special place, to laugh, to reflect, to cry, and to grow together.

For us, making theatre is the most beautiful activity in the world. It is a love that we now get to share with you. We want to welcome you and take you with us, to think and wonder together with you, to experience and discuss fascinating stories.

We believe that it is not only how theatre tells a story that matters, but also how theatre tells its own story. How theatre approaches its audience, how it appears on stage, how it enchants. We hardly ever remember what was said or done. More often, we remember the feelings it evoked in us. We stand for a future-oriented theatre that takes a stance and embraces aesthetics. For us, shaping the future means arriving in the present together.

We cannot wait to breathe new life into the Pfauen and the Schiffbau together with our already beloved ensemble and all the wonderful people who work here. And therefore, dear Züri, we would like to invite you to join us as we embark on the future of the Schauspielhaus.

With great anticipation,
Pınar Karabulut & Rafael Sanchez
