Gala Magazine article translation to English:


THE PREMIER OF A UNIQUE PRODUCTION IN ZURICH


The feature film was shot in India and England and was funded 100% through donations and foundation grants. All proceeds from the film will be donated to selected organisations through the Zariya Foundation, which works to provide education and healthcare for the sick, disabled and abandoned children living in poverty. The Swiss actress Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz travelled to India twelve years ago with the aim of Bollywood studios. She was confronted with the misery of many children and the images never left her. Teresa and Kavita: two women's lives, passionately and uncompromisingly interwoven in two parallel stories. Both women realise their vocation despite great doubts. This interwoven story shows Mother Teresa, the woman behind the myth, in a new dimension. Her loss of faith inspires Kavita, a young Englishwoman with Indian roots, to discover real love and empathy in today's Calcutta.

Coco Chanel welcomes world-famous personalities from the worlds of art and politics to her villa ‘Respiro’, where she passionately creates a revolutionary fashion that is still unmistakable today. As a patron, she financed Igor Stravinsky's adaptation of ‘Sacré du Printemps’ and was friends with Dali, Picasso, Modigliani and many other bohemians. She collaborates with the Nazis, is arrested and is only released thanks to her friendship with Winston Churchill. She only drinks champagne in two situations: when she is in love and when she is not! This entertaining and inspiring one-woman play, lasting about an hour, combined with a small exhibition and a champagne aperitif, invites the audience to feel for a moment like a guest in one of Coco Chanel's most famous villas.



This attractive, varied programme is also ideal for
for company/customer events.
