Perrrformat is dedicated to the curation, mediation, and documentation of performative practices in (semi-)public spaces. Founded in Zurich in 2020, this nomadic initiative explores forms of performance that unfold beyond traditional institutional frameworks, working closely with invited artists in a spirit of collaboration and experimentation. Its free public programme brings the diverse languages of performance to a broad audience, while opening up key questions around performativity, presence, and shared space.
A further focus lies on developing new approaches to mediation and experimental documentation, tested alongside the performances themselves, with the long-term aim of building an open and continuously evolving archive.
Perrrformat is artistically directed by Luca Büchler, Martina Morger, and Monica Unser. Communication is managed by Michelle Stutz.
