Watch & Talk

The title says it all: Watch & Talk is a ten-day meeting and exchange programme for young artists from all over the world. With the support of Pro Helvetia, the Zürcher Theater Spektakel invites young artists with different artistic focuses to follow the diverse festival programme together and to exchange ideas about it. Through shared art experiences, talks and other activities, the participants get to know each other, reflect on their own artistic work and build new professional relationships. In this way, Watch & Talk promotes intercultural cooperation and expands the networks of young artists across borders.
