During Zurich Art Weekend, Zurich becomes a meeting point for the international art scene and Schauspielhaus Zürich is right at the centre of it: with the OPENING NIGHT PARTY at Schiffbau, performances of ARE YOU READY TO DIE? and MONSTER, as well as talks, workshops, and the panel STIMMEN AUS DEM IRAN exploring the intersection of art, theatre, and politics.

In the Display-Magazin, Michel von Känel aka Paprika talks about how femininity, which once had to be hidden, is now being celebrated.

In the world premiere of MONSTER by Anta Helena Recke, Maxi Menja Lehmann and Anna Froelicher, a multi-layered world emerges at the intersection of dream, play and reality, in which questions of identity, origin and belonging can be experienced through the senses and are constantly shifting. 

Programme booklets are available at the book table, theatre box office and through our webshop. Enrich your theatre experience with background information about the play!
