Figura

Every two years, the FIGURA Theatre Festival brings artists from Switzerland and abroad to Baden, transforming the town into a hub for contemporary puppet theatre. Whether delicately poetic and playful or socially incisive, the productions on show reflect the full spectrum of the genre. Puppets, objects, materials, light, sound and language merge into multi-layered productions that move the audience, provoke thought or simply enchant.

Performances take place at various venues across the city: from traditional theatres to unusual venues. The festival is aimed at a wide audience and also offers a varied supporting programme featuring talks, exhibitions and opportunities to meet the artists.
