Theater Canton Zurich
The Theater Kanton Zürich (TC) was founded in 1971 as a cooperative. What makes the theater special is its mobility. As a traveling stage, it is always playing somewhere else: in the municipalities of the canton as well as in guest theaters throughout German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino.
The theater, which has its own ensemble, puts on five to seven new productions each season and stages up to 200 performances, including open-air events in the summer. Rüdiger Burbach has been the artistic director since 2010. In 2020, the programme was expanded to include the "Young TC" with the aim of creating a varied, decentralized offering for children and young people in theaters, communities and classrooms.
The TZ is based in Winterthur. This is where the workshops, costume studio, fundus and administration are housed and where the rehearsals, premieres and first performances take place. Almost 100 political municipalities, around 20 school communities and a good 200 private individuals and companies belong to the Theater für den Kanton Zürich cooperative.
