Saisonüberblick '95/96
(PAGE 10 of Zurich's Cynical Theatre Guide)

(with 182 shows listed, among them 46 dance theatre shows
and about 40 shows addressing particularly children or young people)

Nov 1, 1997
 
 

This page surveys the theater season '95/96 (from September 1995 to September 1996) in the city of Zurich, Switzerland (Europe). 2/3 of all shows presented in the city of Zurich were considered. Note that some excellent shows could not be seen by us for various reasons and therefore they do not appear on this page.

Shows are listed in 17 subcategories according to their artististic value as it has been assessed by us. Each subcategory is represented by a paragraph. There shows are ordered by date of our visit, i.e. earlier visits are listed first. In order to improve the readability of the listings the subcategories are grouped into 5 main categories:

Shows listed in the first categories are considered to be of exceptional artistic value by us, while the artistic value of shows listed in the last categories is considered to be rather insignificant. Categorization is done based on a subjective artistic judgement only. Please note that translation of German terms into English using a dictionary may convert the meaning into its extreme opposite.

Erläuterungen für Theaterindexneulinge:

Dieser Saisonüberblick ist keine vollstänstige Aufzählung Zürcher Theaterproduktionen der Saison '95/96, sondern nur eine subjektive Liste der (über 180) vom Verfasser in dieser Saison in Zürich gesehenen Produktionen.

Die Absätze sind nach küstlerischer Qualität geordnet, und zusätzlich der besseren Übersichtlichkeit wegen in Unterseiten zusammengefasst:

In den einzelnen Absätzen sind die Theateraufführungen chronologisch geordnet (nach dem Zeitpunkt des Konsums durch den Verfasser: früher konsumierte Produktionen folgen zuerst).

In einer Dokumentzeile steht jeweils der Titel einer Produktion, und in Klammern der Aufführungsort und die aufführende Gruppe, soferne diese nicht die Hausmannschaft des Aufführungsortes ist. Wenn die Aufführungssprache nicht Deutsch ist, ist dies zusätzlich an der ersten Stelle innerhalb der Klammer angegeben. Die übergeordnete Veranstaltungsreihe ist jeweils an der letzten Stelle innerhalb der Klammer angegeben.

Über Reaktionen freuen wir uns, oder auch nicht. MAIL IN ENGLISH WELCOME!
