Starting from 2025, Karabulut and Sanchez will take over the operation of the theater. Its predecessors were sometimes criticized for low visitor numbers. The course was also criticized for its alleged excessive focus on diversity and identity politics.

Karabulut told the media that diversity comes with their biographies and that he is a part of it. The position of diversity officer will be retained. The previous ones did a good job here.

Sanchez also said she sometimes imagines “how my grandmother would view a piece.” In a small city like Zurich, “there is a need for productions aimed at different audiences.” In this way the house can be filled.

Sanchez said it was clear they wanted to co-direct. You want to focus on spoken word theater and a strong community. Boys should be encouraged.

As a requirement of the board of directors, there will not be a dance company like the previous ones due to cost. Karabulut and Sanchez met in Zurich, when Sanchez was co-director of the Neumarkt Theatre.

During the application process, Karabulut and Sanchez beat out two dozen other candidates. It was further examined by the search committee, half of which was made up of the theater’s producers and the board of directors.

The contracts of previous directors Benjamin von Blomberg and Nicolas Stemann were not extended. Ulrich Khuon will take on the role of director in the 2024/2025 season. (SDA)
