DeZentral

We will continue our pop-up format, DeZentral: from Tuesdays to Thursdays, one of the companies from the Zentral-programme will perform in a Zurich district.

Apart from that we also present again acrobatics, spoken word, clowning, dance, concerts and more from Switzerland and beyond at The Zentral stages on the Landiwiese! 

Compagnie Wurst

C’est Bien Ici?

Belgium / Tue 23, 18 hrs (Sportplatz Schule Leutschenbach); Wed 24, 18 hrs (Sportplatz Schulhaus Grünau); Thu 25 August (GZ Bachwiesen); Sun 21 and Mon 22 August also Zentral on the festival site

Electric scooters, briefcases and coffee-to-go have become an indelible part of European cityscapes. Mikail Karahan and Elias Oechsner of Compagnie Wurst employ those elements in their piece «C’est Bien Ici?» – to create a truly spectacular circus show. 

Evaluna & Anuschka

Konzert

Switzerland / Tue 30 August, 18 hrs (GZ Heuried)

Two voices, two guitars, one ukulele and a double bass – enough for Evaluna & Anuschka to tell stories about life. In the leading roles: organic vegetable, king greybeard, slugs in the garden and a winged deer. 

Si le colibri

j’étais, une fois, deux

Switzerland / Wed 31 August, 18 hrs (GZ Hottingen); Mon 29 August also Zentral on the festival site

Aude Cattin and Owen Winship ask the big questions of life in their own unique way. «j’étais, une fois, deux» is a tender and comic circus show full of innovative physical artistry, far from well-trodden paths. 

Zero en Conducta

LA POUBELLE PLUS BELLE o TRASH

Spain / Thu 1 September, 18 hrs (GZ Seebach); Fri 2 and Sat 3 September also Zentral on the festival site

Little Poubelle dreams of becoming a star. The only problem: she is a rubbish bag. In this tragic comic object theatre by Zero en Conducta, Poubelle meets her fate with humour – and still shines like a star … before being dumped into the rubbish truck.
