Led by Bjørn Sundquist and a unique ensemble, "The Trigger System" by Tore Vagn Lid is one of the great theatre experiences you must catch right now! We meet Captain Noah, an aging scientist who has withdrawn into a fairy-tale-like fable universe of his own. Produced by Transiteatret-Bergen, touring with Riksteatret. Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes (no intermission).

The Trigger System

Maihaugsalen

Christoph Marthaler makes texts by Basel artist Dieter Roth (1930 - 1998) resound in a pharmacy. Here they touch the heart, kidneys, stomach and intestines. The tear ducts are also affected, as Roth wrote a so-called sea of tears. Five marvellous pharmacists and a wonderful customer bathe in these tears in a decidedly unsentimental way. The prescription they write for life is a poem. The guest performance during Art Basel is presented by the Laurenz Foundation, the sponsoring foundation of Schaulager in Münchenstein/Basel. Schaulager also looks after Dieter Roth's former studio space ‹Selbstturm, Löwenturm› from the collection of the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation near the Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart.

Das Weinen (Das Wähnen)

Theater Basel

The return of two grand masters: Gustav Mahler – star conductor, visionary composer, and the most famous General Music Director in the history of the State Opera. His music unfolds a panorama of human experience – constantly fluctuating between joie de vivre and the dance of death. Director Christoph Marthaler, known for his idiosyncratic and playful scenic collages, approaches Mahler's oeuvre with an intense chamber piece.
