Presentation: The Surselva in flames!

The French invasion in the spring of 1799 marked one of the darkest chapters of the Surselva. The Oberland decided to fight and not to submit. When the French demanded their surrender, the people of Disentis responded on behalf of the entire Cadi: "We will fight to the last drop of blood!"

This summer, director René Schnoz and his team are staging Hubert Giger's historical drama "1799 - Revolta ella Cadi".

The presentation by Plutarch Chiotopulos places the events of that time in a pan-European context for a better understanding of the historical facts surrounding the play.
