STÜTZLIWÖSCH SUPERTRANS UNO

About the show

A new theatrical work by Swiss author Kay Matter, commissioned for Schauspielhaus Zürich and directed by Dennis Nolden. The play follows Matteo, who is in transition, on a roadtrip to Italy to visit his ailing father Aldo. Despite anxiety about facing family members and villagers who knew him as Isabella, Matteo seeks time with his father. The journey becomes an intimate exploration of changing masculinity, queerness, embodiment, and the fragile bond between parent and child as both grapple with physical transformation and acceptance. The production marks the first part of a new three-part theatrical series, bringing together emerging artistic talent to tell an ambivalent story of self-discovery, shame, frustration, and unconditional love. Running 60 minutes without intermission.
