For 25 years, under the direction of Nora Vonder Mühll and Stefan Colombo, the Schaffhausen theatre Sgaramusch has been producing touring plays for young and adult audiences. The plays are created after intensive research with the target audience. The group uses a wide variety of means for the presentation: puppetry, dance, performance, acting, music and soundscapes. The group attaches great importance to incorporating as many perspectives as possible on a topic and to exposing the audience to as much as possible. With its plays, Theater Sgaramusch gets close to the audience and not just in theatre spaces. This has enabled performances on four continents, in both small and large venues.
