Foreboding and poetic, “The Martian Chronicles” tells of humanity's fragile existence and its ambivalent relationship with nature. The science fiction classic was published in 1950; it deals with the colonisation of Mars and observes how humans are capable of the best and the worst. Author Ray Bradbury was regarded as the poet of the rocket age. He achieved world fame with “Fahrenheit 451” at the latest.
The celebrated French theater-maker Philippe Quesne creates theater with subtle humour, great metaphors, and magical images. For him, the stage is both a place of refuge and a playground. In front of a huge green screen, he lets a small community explore episodes from Bradbury's groundbreaking universe. This retro-futuristic theater piece will be performed in German with English surtitles.
Tickets are CHF 30-70 for adults and CHF 10 for kids up to age 16 or students up to age 30.
