School Theatre 2026

Once again, it is a proposal from the theatre group itself that has been well received by the performers this year and has prevailed.

Dürrenmatt’s “The Visit” with its many roles is also well suited to the larger theatre group. Younger students in particular joined in the summer and are now enthusiastic about theatre. So the next generation is taken care of!

It is also fitting that the play premiered almost exactly 70 years ago, on 28 January 1956, at the Schauspielhaus Zürich theatre. The play has been performed at the Kollegibühne once before, in 1998, directed by Father Robert. The fundamental question posed by the play, whether justice can be bought, is and remains timeless.

We wish the audience an entertaining evening with this classic.
