Die MARKUS ZOHNER THEATER COMPAGNIE

Performances, Theatre Projects and Masterclasses all over the World

MARKUS ZOHNER THEATER COMPAGNIE is one of the most innovative and progressive Theatre Companies in Europe.

Based in Switzerland, the MARKUS ZOHNER THEATER COMPAGNIE has participated in International Theatre Projects all over Europe, as well as in Africa, Asia, South America and in the United States.

Worldwide award-winning theatre at the highest level, innovative, avant-garde. New forms of expression and the fusion of imagination, body, voice and language exceed the limits, opening up new paths to the essence theatre is made of: the imagination of the audience.

The company has participated in many important theatre festivals such as "Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogota" / Colombia, "International Theatre Festival Lahore" / Pakistan, "World Exposition EXPO" Seville / Spain, "euro-scene Leipzig"/Germany, "First International Theatre Festival LIFE" at Vilnius/Lithuania, Festival Samart at Samara / Russia, Festival "KING" at Novgorod / Russia, "Festival for Young Theatre" Jekaterinburg / Russia, International Theatre Festival MESS Sarajevo / Bosnia and Herzegovina, "International Theatre Festival at San Antonio" / Texas, USA, The New York Theatre Festival, / New York, Drama Festival Lahore / Pakistan and others in Romania, Spain, Egypt, Finland, Estonia, Scotland (Edinburgh), Kazakhstan, Kirgisistan...

MARKUS ZOHNER THEATER COMPAGNIE's first production was "PALPITATION"- followed by many other productions, such as Stravinsky’s "The Soldier’s Tale", "SHEHERAZADE- Erotical and Comical Stories of the Book of 1001 Nights", "HA!HAmlet" and now "ODYSSEY".

One essential element in the work of the MARKUS ZOHNER THEATER COMPAGNIE is the search for the intertwining between the tragic and comical aspects of theatre, trying to illuminate the otherwise invisible areas of human nature.

Besides touring, producing and directing, the company offers master classes for professional actors on "The Creativity of the Actor".
The Company organizes every year the MARKUS ZOHNER THEATRE ACADEMY, with theatre workshops held by the most brilliant teachers from all over the world.
