Each August, Scotland’s capital city is transformed into the largest performing arts stage in the world.

Now, around three and a half thousand shows are presented at the festival each year, and around one million visitors attend.
This year, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia will support a selection of three theatre companies/artists to present their work at Summerhall under the «Swiss Selection Edinburgh» banner. The works featured are Traumboy/Traumgirl by Daniel Hellmann and Anne Welenc, 8:8 by Mercimax and 21 by Mats Staub.
