Various Forms of Street Art

Various Forms of Street Art

 

OUTDOOR VENUES
The Zürcher Theater Spektakel has designated outdoor venues for street performances. Interested artists can use this form to apply for a performance slot during one of the six-day blocks. The application deadline is April 16, 2026. You can find the exact conditions here. Please read them carefully before applying. The number of artists and groups is limited.

SIDE ACTS
Alongside the scheduled street art programme in the outdoor spaces, small-scale, spontaneous Side Acts may take place on a limited basis within a clearly defined framework. Unlike registered street art performances, however, spontaneous performers are not guaranteed a slot. You can find the guidelines for Side Act performances here.

NEW: DIY TABLE
The Zürcher Theater Spektakel is launching a new project this year. At the DIY table, individuals and collectives can invite others to craft and tinker together, share skills and simply spend time. It is about unlearning packaged consumption, passing on skills, and creating space for exchange and connection. The format is intentionally open and leaves room for a wide range of ideas and approaches. So feel warmly invited – and don’t be shy – to bring your projects to the DIY table. You can find the open call for this format here. 

BAZAAR
Some people missed the Bazaar at the 2025 festival. We took this to heart and developed the new DIY table format for this year (see above). The focus is no longer on selling, but on sharing skills and craftsmanship, and on creating an accessible space for creative exchange.
