At Schauspielhaus Zürich

Zürich

"programming involves some of the best artists in the world"
Small house: parterre and balcony seats all work
Depicts cancer death and suicide; fog effects early on

Provocateur Calixto Bieito takes on Benjamín Labatut's mind-bending novel: mathematician John von Neumann, the atom bomb, and the moment machines began outthinking their makers. Fact blurs with fiction, genius meets nightmare.

Monday, November 30, 8:00 PM
