Dear friends of the Theater Spektakel
In just under a month the advance sale starts, and in just about eight weeks the 36th Zürcher Theater Spektakel opens. We would like to draw your attention to the detailed programme preview available on our website as of today. More than 40 productions await you on the Landiwiese. As usual, our visiting companies come from within and way beyond the Schengen Area and comprise dance, theatre, performance artists and musicians who tackle today's world with zest, courage and often with defiance.
A central topic is that of the power structures which artists have to face. They fight against stagnation and taboos and struggle with the progression of fundamentalist ideologies. They perform close to – and at times even within – the audience, working with fantasy and with minimal means. Many of them use humour as an antidote to the powerlessness in the face of political and commercial constraints. Let yourself be inspired by the preview and put together your personal festival programme.

We like to thank everyone who has offered accommodation for our artists during the festival so far. However, we still need accommodation for three members of the jury of the ZKB Patronage Prize for the entire duration of the festival. We are therefore urgently looking for a
3-bedroom flat or 3 single rooms from 6 to 23 August
The flats/rooms should be low-rent or no-cost, situated in or near the centre of Zurich and be close to public transport. The festival office looks forward to receiving offers on dl@theaterspektakel.ch
