(Performance)
Bertilla Spinas works as a visual and performing artist, moving between art and theatre. Her conceptual works often arise as a direct response to spaces and situations, which she reinterprets in a playful yet critical manner. She frequently works collectively and develops fluid formats that link social and political issues with everyday observations.
Christian Ratti
(Performance)
Christian Ratti, originally from Graubünden, is a ‘walking scientist’ and specialist in industrial culture. With ease and subtle irony, he transcends the boundaries between technology, art and everyday life. Whether in exhibitions, interventions or city tours, his works open up new perspectives on familiar spaces.

Meret Schlegel & Kilian Haselbeck
(Dance)
Meret Schlegel and Kilian Haselbeck combine different perspectives and generations in their work. As dancers and choreographers, they create interdisciplinary projects that open up space for encounter and exchange. Meret Schlegel brings her many years of experience as a performer and former director of Tanzhaus Zurich to the table, while Kilian Haselbeck provides new impetus with his background in hip-hop, ballet and contemporary dance. Together, their Cie zeitSprung represents a network that combines choreographic precision with collective and cross-generational approaches.
(Art/Literatur)
Benedikt Bock (born 1987, Germany) writes and creates connections between text, sculpture and film. His works oscillate between allegory and everyday observation and have been shown in institutions and galleries worldwide. In his practice, he combines artistic thinking with a love of literary experimentation — an approach that is also reflected in his most recent projects, such as the poetry collection Angst and his series of events Texte zum Nachdenken (Texts for Reflection). Benedikt lives and works in Zurich and is a member of the city's Commission for Fine Arts.
