Why not spend your lunch break at the cinema? Every 2nd Wednesday between November and April, we host the "Lunch-Kino" (cinema lunch) at the Kino Seehof. Films begin at 12:15pm (the cinema opens at 11:30am). Warm soup, appetizers, and various other snacks and treats will be available at the cinema bar.
Look for the voucher published in the Zuger Woche a week before the screening to get two tickets (standard category) at a reduced price of only CHF 10.- each (instead of CHF 18.-). Simply cut out the voucher, bring it to the box office and enjoy the "Lunch-Kino"!
The films are generally sneak previews. Titles will be announced ten days in advance.
AI WEIWEIS TURANDOT
| Wed 05.11. | 12:15 | AI WEIWEIS TURANDOT Lunch-Kino | OVd | Seehof 1 |
By Maxim Derevianko.
AI WEIWEI’S TURANDOT follows Chinese revolutionary artist, Ai Weiwei, as he brings his artistic vision and iconoclastic activism to Puccini’s Turandot at the Rome Opera House during his operatic directorial debut, using the opera as a backdrop to address many issues that plague mankind including the Ukraine war, refugee crises, the Covid pandemic, and more. One hundred years later, the film shows not only that Puccini’s opera is still as vital and relevant as ever, but also according to esteemed choreographer, Chiang Ching – his life-long friend featured in the film, it is also a reflection of Ai Weiwei’s life, and a fitting project for an artist known for his installations, sculpture and photography that denounce authority and champion human rights and freedom of expression.
