With his blend of language and music, Hans Wüthrich from Bern, who celebrates his 80th birthday next year, has become a key figure in contemporary European cultural creativity. A doctor of philosophy and linguist, professor of music theory but, first and foremost, a thinker of unlimited imagination, Hans Wüthrich creates works that are a unique mixture of theatre and music.

Honoured by the worlds of both composition and theatre, he is also a member of the Akademie der Künste Berlin.
