Res Helvetica: A Summit in the Swiss Alps
Radio Play in One Act, 2006
Christian Mayer, Yves Mettler and Marion Ronca

A tourist is pleased by the calm and beautiful views in the Swiss mountains.
An immigrant is pleased by his arrival in Switzerland.
Helvetia is pleased by the unexpected visit.

«When you climb a mountain, an ox looks like a sheep and a sheep like a piglet. And yet an ox not shaped like a sheep, nor a sheep like a piglet. It is the error of the viewer’s standpoint.»

(Our gratitude goes out to the actors Daniel Mangisch, Laila Nielsen, and Samuel Rusch and to the F+F, school for Art and Media DesignZurich as well Martin Zimmermann for his technical support in recording the radio play)
