Zanco – 20th Anniversary Show

Directed by Yuval Dishon, Zanco’s 20th Anniversary Show revisits five emblematic creations in a mobile, immersive promenade. Performers including committee members Vlady Wagner, Micha Hersch and Cyril Lenz animate papier‑mâché ghosts, masks and puppetry, accompanied by music from POL and Guillaume Lagger and sound design by Ivan Verda. The artistic team (Stella Giuliani, Jessica Haener, Olga Andreichikova, Mehdi Duman, Dinu Corminboeuf, Oliver Robertson) reframes memory, language and myth to probe democratic crisis, fear and social fragmentation in a nocturnal, poetic atmosphere.
