productions of mainly avant-garde authors (Arrabal, Ionesco, Albee, Triana) were played, and made the small theater to a stage for modern, experimental theater. After
Ostfelden's death in 1971, the operation continued and went over, in different constellations, to actresses and actors and directors who were related to the theater. During these years, the playhouse developed to a contemporary and socially critical aligned experimental theater with a thematically and artistically wide range of 20th-century plays, for example, works by Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Dario Fo and Alfred Jarry, and premieres and special events (guest performances, readings, jazz concerts). Starting in 1994 according to a new organizational model, mainly co-productions with independent groups and theaters of similar orientation were carried out. Together with other stakeholders, a support program for young Swiss playwrights and dramatists was initiated in 2000 called "Dramenprozessor". In more than twenty years of its existence, the training, which is accompanied by practitioners and authors, has proven to be an efficient "processor" for contemporary playwrights at the beginning of their careers. In 2015 the "Dramenprozessor" was awarded the Theaterpreis of the Federal Office of Culture.

In 1913 the Mertens brothers modernized the southern garden in the then new architectural style whose characteristic elements are straight ways, cut hedges and the rhythm between open, colored flower beds and shady, green areas. When the property was sold to a general contractor in 1951, the squalor and savagery of the gardens began. The demolition and the planned development of the land in the early 1960s, suggested a large public opposition. That's why, in 1964, the property was acquired by the city of Zürich. The villa was subsequently used by the
