BAGAT – producziun da teater

The name 'Bagat' refers to the first card in the Tarot deck, as well as to a restless and fidgety character.
Bagat – producziun da teater is an initiative by Roman Weishaupt. He founded the association together with director Claudia Carigiet. At its heart is the idea of a professional Romansh-language theatre company. All participating artists are trained and experienced theatre practitioners.
At Bagat, the Romansh language serves not only as a means of communication, but also as a space for play, research, and experimentation, transcending the boundaries of regional idioms. This playful engagement with language forms the artistic core of the productions.
As a shared stage language, “Rumantsch da tribuna” provides equal access for people from all regions. It surprises, challenges and opens up new linguistic horizons, making professional Romansh-language theatre accessible to children, young people and families. Bilingual versions and adaptations into German also make the productions accessible to German-speaking audiences.
Bagat is a mobile theatre company without a permanent venue. The ensemble seeks out its audiences directly, touring its productions throughout Rumantschia and performing in schools, villages, and other unconventional venues. With around 100 performances to date, Bagat has reached a broad audience. These include around 20 performances presented at schools in Chur during the pandemic.
