Salon Theater Herzbaracke in Zurich occupies a historically significant building. Originally constructed in 1876 as a barrack for the city guard – hence “Herzbaracke” meaning “heart barrack” – it underwent transformation in the 1980s into a cultural space. The venue is characterized by its intimate atmosphere and unique architectural features retaining much of its original industrial aesthetic. It functions as a platform for independent theater, concerts, and performance art, particularly supporting experimental and emerging artists. Herzbaracke is noted for its commitment to fostering a diverse artistic program within a non-commercial framework and has become an established part of Zurich’s independent cultural scene. Raphael Jost's performance is scheduled at this location on February 11th, 2027.
