Friedrich Dürrenmatt – In the Labyrinth is a tribute to the man, writer, and painter, Friedrich Dürrenmatt. It is a fictional autobiography compiled from the countless national and international film, radio and television broadcasts in which he recalls his life, talks about his work and relentlessly analyzes the world on a philosophical plateau.
Their voices are suppressed, banned and censored. However, Yoani Sánchez, Zeng Jinyan and Darian Seifi are not intimidated by their dictatorial regimes.

CONTENT
Swiss through and through and yet universally appealing – nostalgic and always up to date. The old stories by Jeremias Gotthelf were filled with larger than life emotions and scenes that need the backdrop of a musical. With GOTTHELF – the musical, the successful writers, Charles Lewinsky and Markus Schönholzer, reawaken our national poet in a new light and take him from the idyllic Emmental Valley directly to Broadway in New York City.
