Every two years, the Migros Culture Percentage organises Switzerland‘s biggest contemporary dance festival. Over three weeks, national and international dance companies tour the entire country on the occasion of the dance festival Steps. With 80 performances in 32 cities and villages, the festival productions are seen by about 30,000 spectators from all over Switzerland. In a multilingual country, this non-verbal art overcomes all language barriers. The dance festival not only bridges all language regions but also connects urban and rural areas and opens its doors to everybody. The companies perform in a variety of venues – municipal theatres, alternative arts centres, multi-purpose halls. Due to its decentralised structure, the Migros Culture Percentage Dance Festival Steps gives the entire population a broad access to culture, true to the motto of Migros‘ founder Gottlieb Duttweiler.
The Theater Casino Zug Restaurant is delighted to offer a Culinary Special to match the performance of the evening.
The Culinary Special does not need to be ordered in advance. Reserve your table today online or by phone at +41 41 729 10 40.
