Klibühni Chur: Intimate Theater in Chur's Old Town

Klibühni Chur, whose name translates to "small stage" in the local dialect, is a cultural gem located in Chur's historic Old Town. Situated on Kirchgasse 14, next to the Antistitium, this intimate theater has been a cornerstone of Chur's arts scene since its establishment in 1974. Founded with the aim of providing a platform for young artists and promoting Kleinkunst (small-scale performing arts), Klibühni has evolved into a vibrant venue hosting a diverse program of theater productions, concerts, readings, and children's shows. The theater presents around 120 performances each year, showcasing both guest performances and original productions that often garner national attention. Klibühni's origins trace back to the cultural awakening of the early 1970s. It emerged from a need for alternative cultural spaces in Chur, offering a contrast to the more traditional Stadttheater. In its early days, performances were primarily held during the summer months in the courtyard of the Zunfthaus an der Kirchgasse. Over time, Klibühni expanded its operations to include year-round programming and performances in other venues throughout Chur. Adding to its appeal, Klibühni also boasts a delightful dining experience. Guests can enjoy delicious food, including their famous pizza, in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. This combination of quality performances and culinary delights makes Klibühni a must-visit destination for those seeking an immersive cultural experience in Chur.
