After the success of Focus Balkans in 2013 with the performance Eden by Slovenian artist Mala Kline and the theatre show Odio la verità – MRZIM ISTINU by Croatian director Oliver Frljić and of Focus Germany in 2014 with the itinerant performance Remote Milano by Rimini Protokoll, ZONA K opens the 15/16 season with the by now customary European appointment, this year entirely dedicated to Switzerland.

Leading artist for this new ZONA K event is
Cie Yan Duyvendak with his performance
PLEASE, CONTINUE (HAMLET) for the first time in Milan.

The Helvetic Union is currently one of the richest countries in terms of innovative and high-quality proposals.
Among the infinite number of possible proposals, we have chosen the most successful projects in terms of innovation, attention to the present and the ability to look at, use and interpret the reality that surrounds us.

Looking at Switzerland allows us to continue to talk about Europe, but from a particular point of view, that of a country that is at the centre of it, is culturally part of it, indeed it includes three of the main linguistic groups, but does not belong to it administratively.

Here are the events.
