Premiere

Tristan und Isolde oder Luft! Luft! Mir erstickt das Herz!

Theater Hora joins up with a musical theatre collective from Berlin to free Wagner's opera from its high-culture restrictions. Together with the audience they navigate their way through an ocean of euphoria, depression, lust, hate and shame.

Premiere

Egotopia

Individualism in privileged Western society, heightened by egoism, is at the centre of this piece. Kings and Queens wander about, turning endlessly around each other. Monologues become poetry and provoke the question as to whether separation can lead to the emergence of novel communities or kingdoms.

Fabriktheater Rote Fabrik • Zurich, Switzerland

Premiere

Bob Dylans 115ter Traum

Starting out from Bob Dylan's lifelong struggle against fulfilling others’ expectations and for his personal freedom, Theater Hora reflects its own role in an increasingly normative society. A wild mixture of total theater and concert, minimalist improvisation and orgy of costumes, tableau vivant and radical performance.
