At first glance, the new program of the Theater Theater in Zurich seems to have changed nothing. As if now no new leader on the pusher, not a new master on the 18 days that are celebrated in the metropolis of Limmat as sixth season, no new master also on this budget of nearly 5 million francs, which is rented to a third of the city.
And because Matthias von Hartz, born in 1970 in Bavaria Augsburg, has a pure Swiss restraint, he also immediately insists: First, the new program is responsible for a whole group of contributors, some of whom have been associated with the festival for a long time . And secondly, he had often already visited the theater show – for example, as curator of the Berlin Festival Foreign Affairs and as head of the Kampnagel Hamburg International Summer Festival. And then he saw that it was good. You do not need to radically transform, but to complement, expand, continue to lead.
And that is exactly what the man with almost Hanseatic elegance in his earnings program, which he introduced yesterday and which begins August 16, does exactly that. Naturally, Hartz is a great thinker of network and transfer: He studied economics at the London School of Economics before enrolling in the direction of the Hamburg Theater Academy. And now, for example, he continues to think of the old concept of show of internationality and inclusion – both concrete and highly theoretical. If you wish, you can sponsor cheap tickets for refugees and others in need, which will then be distributed by the appropriate clubs; Solidar drink coupons can also be purchased.
The complete works of the artists are at the center
In addition, five persons with different residency status sit on a new advisory committee of the festival. And on stage, three outstanding scientists – from Cameroon, Senegal, and India – will talk about racism, postcolonialism, inequality and new opportunities. The fact that there are more than thirty Swiss productions of more than thirty foreigners, on the other hand, is normal current.
What is new is that it has to go more and more to the complete works of the respective artists: Von Hartz invites his guests for several days and different productions to organize lots of aerial tours. In addition, one or the other should become tangible in the discussions with the public and in the new format "Stammtisch"
"A festival for all" is the motto that gave the kick of 39, send to Zurich Theater Show by Matthias von Hartz. And Peter Haerle, cultural leader of the city of Zurich, is delighted because it fits perfectly with the cultural and theatrical model: Von Hartz focuses on strengthening cultural participation – of all.
