stromereien 09 - Performance Festival Zurich
29th Juli - 7th August 2009

stromereien 09 is where the stage meets the water: Along the banks of the River Limmat, in the middle of the city of Zurich, unique performance projects will surprise and delight with new and unusual experiences in familiar places.

15 solo artists and groups will take possession of the area around the Tanzhaus Zurich for ten days, taking the audience to public baths, onto bridges, through green open spaces, into private apartments of Zurich…They invite the spectators to join them on guided walks or to be surprised by interventions in unexpected places of every-day life.

In addition to the performances, a variety of other exciting events will round off the festival programme. “Denkströme” offer scope for debate, while a workshop for professional artists provides the chance for further education and a platform for experimentation. The official festival observer will be present throughout the entire time, cataloguing the side effects of the festival in his research station.
