Theater Chur
The Theater Chur (formerly Stadttheater Chur ) is a theater in Chur at Zeughausstrasse 6 and the largest theater in the canton of Graubünden .
The Chur City Theater has existed since 1876 with continuous seasonal operation and regular guest performances in Davos and Glarus during the winter and in Rheinfelden and Aarau during the summer.
The director of the theater from 1945 to 1948 was the German refugee Hans Curjel , who was able to engage the directors Vasa Hochmann and Kurt Horwitz , the set designers Teo Otto and Max Röthlisberger as well as Brigitte Horney , Walter Roderer and Valerie Steinmann in the acting ensemble . In 1948 Bertolt Brecht and Caspar Neher staged the world premiere of Brecht's Antigone .
Since 1959 the theater has been housed in the current building on Grabenstrasse in the direct vicinity of the Grand Council building and in the same building complex. In 1965 the house narrowly escaped bankruptcy. Since 2008 the theater has been largely independent of the political city council. A referendum confirmed the concept of a new sponsorship independent of politics.
After the unexpected death of Markus Luchsinger in 2009, Ute Haferburg became director of the theater in 2010.
