For several years, Pro Helvetia – Swiss arts council, Cantons and Cities have been actively collaborating to ensure that Swiss dance and theatre companies of cross-regional and international importance can plan their activities over the medium term by means of three-year support contracts. Thought these support agreements, the funding parties express their trust in the artistic qualities and organisational skills of the dance or theatre companies concerned and give them leeway to develop new productions and formats. For the three-year period 2021-2023, Trickster-p is one of 13 companies benefiting from this national cooperative support agreement. Partners of the support agreement are Pro Helvetia, Cantone Ticino, City of Lugano, LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura and Municipality of Novazzano.
