Discover more about Klibühni Chur

Klibühni Chur is more than just a theatre; it's a cultural institution with a rich history rooted in the early 1970s. Facing Chur's cultural shortcomings of the time, bright minds decided to take action and established 'Das Theater' in 1974. What began as a summer program in the Zunfthaus on Kirchgasse has evolved into a year-round operation with performances held in various locations. The Klibühni is the second theatre in Chur after the Stadttheater. The Klibühni presents around 120 theatre performances, concerts, readings and children's theatre every year. The theatre is known for its diverse and engaging program, which includes its own productions and guest performances. The Klibühni also provides a stage for local artists. Every summer, the theatre opens the Höfli-Beiz, offering high-quality food and wine alongside an exciting cultural program. The Klibühni has made a name for itself with productions that regularly receive national attention. The Klibühni also played a key role in the creation of the Churer Fest. The Klibühni transferred the Churer Fest to other Chur associations in 1982.
