The festival opened at scorching 32°C with «Nil» by the Swiss troupe Cie 7273 and ended at autumnal 14°C with «Pororoca» by the Brazilian Companhia de Danças. The 33rd Zürcher Theater Spektakel was characterized by extremes in every respect: 50 productions from 30 countries, venues holding 6 to 600 spectators, 161 performances and a programme ranging from the Nouveau Cirque blockbuster by Zimmermann & de Perrot at the Werft to the irritating video gem by the South Korean artist Geumhyung Jeong, from Béla Pintér's scathing political farce «Miststück» at the Gessnerallee to the humoristic impromptu theatre by Ueli Bichsel and Anna Frey at the Haus am See.
The festival audiences entered the game of oppositions and formats with curiosity and openness: The slight increase in attendance accounted for in 2011 could be maintained this year despite the great number of small productions with limited admission capacity (Short Pieces). Again a total of 26 000 spectators attended one of the performances subject to charge. Every forth performance sold out completely, the percentage of seats sold of the 161 performances complies with the budgeted 75%. Around 120 000 visitors enjoyed the programme and the festival atmosphere this year. For the fifth time, the managing team Werner Hegglin, Cornelia Howald and Sandro Lunin conclude the festival with a positive record. Detailed final report 2012
