The Winkelwiese Theatre has been offering a stage for contemporary theatre texts since 1964. Theatre Winkelwiese searches for strong stories and idiosyncratic narrative voices and has been offering the chance to discover current and innovative author:inside theatre for over five decades. With the DRAMENPROZESSOR in 2001, the Winkelwiese created a unique programme to support young theatre writers, which has helped shape the theatre's reputation as a centre for Swiss theatre.
The Winkelwiese Theatre is located in the listed Villa Tobler and is about 350 metres from the Haltestelle Kunsthaus. Two streets have to be crossed. The last 50 metres or so are on a paved road with a slight incline.
The main entrance is up two flights of stairs (three and five steps). To the right of the main entrance is a step-free side entrance that is only accessible when accompanied by staff. From here, a lift takes you to the foyer.
In the house
The box office is mobile and is not always in the same place. Due to protective measures (corona virus), glass panels are currently installed at the box office and bar.
The theatre hall and bar are accessible from the foyer via a permanently installed ramp. The space situation may change depending on the production.
There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet to the left of the lift.
