Starting Saturday, August 20th, Ragnar Kjartansson's Schmerz will be performed for three hours every day for four consecutive days on the Saffainsel in Zürich. Produced by the Zürch Theater Spektakel, the performances are free and open to the public.
The performances will take place on a forest cabin set, created by the artist, which will stand on the island like the remnant left behind by an itinerant operetta company.
