Herzbaracke is a Swiss cabaret-theatre in the cantons of St. Gallen and Zürich provided on a watercraft on Zürichsee. Herzbaracke is a Swiss German language linguistic joke meaning either "heart barracks" or "heart attack".
The project started as an alternative culture program in 1998. Typical for the small theater are graphics and postcards in the Art Nouveau style as a reminiscence of the turn of the century. The Barke, a raft-like vessel type without masts and engine, is due to this setting, lined with pine wood and lit by oil lamps, and decorated with barrel organs and musical boxes.[1]
