Die Schweizerische Post
Stamp

Headlights on! I am proud to show you my new stamp for Swisspost. It is a special issue panorama stamp for  «100 years Einsiedeln World Theatre». Available from May 2nd 2024 in your swiss postshop or order online.

The village of Einsiedeln has been staging world theatre performances for a century and celebrates the festival’s centenary this summer. The outdoor theatre in the village of Einsiedeln, Canton of Schwyz, will raise the curtain for the 17th time this summer – 100 years after the very first performance. The world theatre is inspired by a play written by the Spanish philosopher Caldéron. Since 2000, this play has been revisited to produce performances that don’t just involve Caldéron, but also current issues. The village has traditionally been involved both backstage and on stage, and the anniversary stamp pays tribute to this huge collective effort. In the background you can see the monumental Einsiedeln Abbey, which has always served as an impressive backdrop for the Einsiedeln World Theater.
