«…the learning play teaches by being played, not by being seen”- Bertolt Brecht
I lead theatre courses and support theatrical play processes up to the performance together with people of different ages and backgrounds. I am currently working at the malaika project.
Malaika Refugee Theatre
Started 2023
Project management: Nicole Stehli
Theatre management: Brigitte Schmidlin & Jacqueline Bischofberger
The Malaika (Arabic/Swahili for ‘angel’) integration project consists of around 40 people from a wide range of nations, generations and religions. They perform theatre together once a week in Zurich and develop a new play every year. Highlights include performances at the Bernhardtheater, the Zürcher Theaterspektakel and the Millers Theater.
The project was founded by Nicole Stehli in 2014 in Zurich.

Current production:
Malaikas am Bahnhof - Geschichten im Gepäck
Premiere: 25.04.2025
The Malaika Refugee Theatre embarks on its next adventure. Our current play, ‘Stories in Their Luggage – Malaikas at the Train Station,’ takes the audience to the starting point of the unknown, the arrival point of the new, the gathering place of diversity. To the place where the paths of the world cross. Immerse yourself with us in this touching, emotional and joyful story. Find out more here.
