Towards the end of 2009 I collaborated with artist, author and director Christoph Schlingensief. Theater Neumarkt, Schauspielhaus Zürich and Kunsthaus der Stadt Zürich cooperated in order to enable Schlingensief's "Sterben Lernen - Herr Anderson stirbt in 60 Minuten".

In a procession starting at the Theater Neumarkt, the actors, led by Christoph Schlingensief, marched to a performance staged in the Kunsthaus together with the audience. Subsequently the performance of "Calvinismus Klein" by René Pollesch in the Schauspielhaus was interrupted and complemented. Together with the actors of this play as well as the audience from the Schauspielhaus all returned to the Theater Neumarkt for the finale.

Live broadcasts and recordings of the events were telecast to both theatres.

Like a dadaistic procession Schlingensief's actors and their audience moved through Zurich's nocturnal old town accompanied by altar servers, a choir and death chants.

These are the finest moments of this production: a veiled medieval Madonna figure dances across the zebra crossing followed by a mother pushing a 1950's-style pram and Jesus carrying his cross together with followers. The cars stop, and for a moment the city stands still. This is grotesque, subversive Fellini-type theatre washing over Switzerland; the banal commercial reality of Zurich, the financial metropolis, is penetrated by divinity.
