WITH: Katja Brunner and Guests
PFAUEN
Brilliant wordsmith Katja Brunner – one of Switzerland’s most acclaimed contemporary playwrights – is back at Schauspielhaus Zürich with a new series. Her multi-award-winning, internationally staged texts are linguistically powerful and intense, and her voice is a defining force in feminist discourse.
In her first season with us, Katja Brunner invites you to rethink language and literature:
How do we experience texts?
How do they manifest in space?
How do they transfer into body and mind?
How do they attract and repel?
Literature doesn’t just live between book covers.
It’s not static—it’s alive!
Through a cross-disciplinary format featuring selected guests from Switzerland’s literary and music scenes, Katja Brunner explores the performative power of literature.
