Wasteland/Short Fragments

Outdoor Physical Improvisation

Director: Yuri Birte Anderson

Performers: Siu Hei Chung, Muriel Fischer, Alexandra Kienitz


Performance Video can be found on Initiative - Inclusion - Interaction Facebook page.

Young performers in Zurich have developed physical and vocal journeys based on the themes of T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Wasteland”. Published nearly a century ago, it reflects upon the fatigue and disorientation after a global cataclysm – a theme one can reconnect with today. It first premiered in Zurich as a site-specific outdoor performance in September 2021 as part of the “Crisis and Communitas” project, University of Zurich.

The performance is being performed within Youth Theatre Festival, within international project Initiative - Inclusion - Interaction, Contemporary Theatre for the Active Youth. Supported by Erasmus+ program of the European Commission, Ministry of Culture and Information and Ministry of Youth and Sport of Serbia.
