Rimini Protokoll and Schauspielhaus Zürich are looking for children and young people for a theater and live video project. The premiere is at the beginning of November 2025.
Anyone between the ages of 8 and 15 can apply until January 7, 2025!

What it's about

World government, threatening backdrop, magic formula! What do fairy tales have to do with politics and video games? We will explore this question together. Together we'll invent a play about yourself, the Swiss Federal Council and the big wide world.

How we create theater together with you

Over the course of a year, we will guide you in inventing a new play with us. You will be on stage with 6 other children and young people. You will tell stories, make music and film yourselves with live cameras. You don't need any acting experience to take part.
If you play an instrument, sing or like making videos, we'd love to hear from you.

The most important thing is that you are curious and want to be on stage in front of an audience!

Who we are

We are a team of professional theater makers, musicians and filmmakers around the documentary theater director Stefan Kaegi (Rimini Protokoll). In theater, we are interested in invented stories, but also in stories from real life (documentary theater).We often make plays together with people who are not actors and look forward to seeing you!
