Stück Labor

New round of funding 2020

Over twenty Swiss authors have been able to write new plays over the last ten years as part of the Stück Labor. In the future, Theater Basel and a partner theatre will continue to become the year-long artistic home for an author with the help of the programme.

Anniversary network meeting: 12/13 February 2021

Ten years are a good reason to celebrate and ask: What’s the current state of (Swiss) drama? What remains the basic reality of writing, what has changed? A big meeting will take place at Theater Basel on 12 and 13 February 2021. Authors, literature experts, publishers and other interested parties will spend the anniversary weekend networking in Basel.

Coordination:

Michael Gmaj

Klassikermaschine

1 hour, 1 artist, 1 classic
«Limitations reveal the master.» Goethe

Hamlet, Käthchen, Othello, Medea. The theatre department is taking its educational mission seriously. Every month we will be performing a different work of the classical canon. Reworked as a solo performance. On a specially designed small stage in the foyer. The run time is one hour. Budget-friendly admission. Bei dem spartenübergreifenden The ballet and opera departments are also involved in this cross-disciplinary project within the framework of ‹Klassikermaschine spezial›. Revolving around the most fundamental of all theatre questions: What has it got to do with me?

B formats and B format spectacle

Short performances, long nights

Everything that we always wanted to do. Karaoke comedy or favourite films. Tea dance or trash performance. Homesick evening or poetry reading. The B formats are the place for hidden talents, urgent ideas and artistic solo efforts of charismatic individuals that we call ensemble. Insiders know it: true musical gems are often found on the B-side of a 45. The B formats are, so to speak, the ‘flip side’ of the theatre vinyl. We regularly combine several B formats into one spectacle.

Night café

The night café is legendary. Its new home after 14 November 2020 will be in the recently opened theatre café. Surprise formats of all kinds perform on the newly installed café stage. Every 3rd Friday of the month. At eleven in the evening. Dance, performance, music or show.
