Klibühni Chur: Intimate Theater in Chur's Old Town

Klibühni Chur is more than just a theater; it's a cultural cornerstone in Chur, Graubünden. This intimate venue, whose name translates to "small stage" in the local dialect, provides a platform for a diverse range of performing arts, including cabaret, pantomime, and innovative theatrical productions. Founded in 1974, Klibühni emerged from Chur's burgeoning cultural scene in the 1970s. Initially hosting performances primarily in the summer within the courtyard of the Schnidrzumft building, it has since expanded its operations to offer year-round programming in various locations. The theater is known for its support of local artists and its eclectic mix of guest performances and original productions. Klibühni also contributes significantly to Chur's community spirit. The Klibühni-Fest, first held in 1975 to fund the theater, evolved into the Chur Fest, a major annual event. During the summer months, Klibühni opens the Höfli-Beiz, a pop-up restaurant serving high-quality food and wine alongside a vibrant cultural program.
