«MAESTRO™» 🇬🇧
THE FIGHT FOR THE LAST CROWN
Two directors set up scenes with random combinations of performers from the festival ensemble. In each round, the performers are faced with tasks that challenge them to their limits. The result is a great variety of scenes, ranging from tragic romances to gripping thrillers. The audience decides which of the performers will make it to the next round. In the end, only one Maestro can prevail.

AT THE END OF THE WORLD & THE LAST LAUGH
Double Feature!
«The Village» 🇬🇧
AT THE END OF THE WORLD
We will tell the story of a remote village. The eccentric inhabitants of this village only have each-other to rely on as they have no contact with the outside world. Come and find out the history of the village. How does this village operate? What customs have they developed? Will the village survive to see more generations?
This show is brought to SPUNK by our cast member: Jochem Meijer
«Instant Sketch Comedy Challenge» 🇬🇧
THE LAST LAUGH
This Show is packed with one instantly improvised Comedy-Sketch after the other. Every single one being crafted on the spot with tools Comedy Authors usually work with. Will those tools provide the guarantee of creating a perfect sketch? Of course not! That’s the challenge. And of course it’s part of the fun, which on the other hand we guarantee.
This show is brought to SPUNK by our artistic director: Gilly Alfeo

Double Feature!
LATE-NIGHT-PROMOTION! With a ticket for this show you will can by admission to the following Late-Night-Show for only CHF 10.- (instead of 15.-)!
«500 Seconds» 🇬🇧
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
“500 seconds” is an original format that has 2 parts and it’s all happening in the same space. 500 seconds is the time the light takes to travel from the sun to the earth. If something was to happen on the Sun, we would only see it 500 seconds later – because that’s how long it would take for the information to come to us. In the first part duos of improvisers do a scene, that is 500 seconds long. One of the improvisers determine, what she or he will do at exactly the 500’s second of the scene. The other improviser is the Earth and has no clue until this 500 second… but she or he has to trust the partner so the decision doesn’t come out of nowhere.

«Theatersports™» 🇬🇧
THE FINAL BATTLE
Two teams competing move by move, blow by blow, scene by scene. Cheered on and inspired by the audience and expertly judged by the relentless jury. All weapons are permitted: dance and song, poetry and pantomime, and all genres from chamber play to grand opera. It can be awfully weird and relentlessly entertaining.
THEATERSPORTS™ – great fun for the audience

«MURKS» 🇬🇧
THE LAST SPARK OF LIGHT
The world is hiding many different shadows. If you put a light on it, it doesn’t get lighter, but more visible. Which doesn’t make it more pleasant to watch. The real world mixes with the ghastly dimension of nightmares and mischievous imps. Maybe everything is just a hallucination, or maybe we should be afraid of ourselves? (This show is in totall darkness. Actors have torches and we play with spotlights.)

«4 Rooms» 🇨🇭/🇩🇪
THE HOTEL AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
This Show is Inspired by the 1995 movie »Four Rooms« where Four interlocking tales take place in a fading hotel on New Year’s Eve. Each Tale was directed by a different aspiring director of the time and thus showing different handwritings – Tarantino was one of them. The only thread connecting the Tales is the Concierge being called to the rooms and getting in trouble every single time. And that is exactly what is going to be improvised in the Show. Which trouble will he be in?

THE SHOW TO END ALL SHOWS
This show is a fanciful and humorous experience with a structure that only gets defined by the collective imaginations of the audience and cast. Elements of storytelling, improvisational games, and silly challenges converge with clowning and general silliness to make a unique show every night. There’s only two rule: The players must say “yes” to everything and everyone must have fun.
