Since 2004, he has created and led productions as a dramaturge and artistic director in the field of music theatre, including dance productions, operas, oratorios, performances, and staged concerts. A particular focus of his work lies in interdisciplinary and participatory approaches to theatre-making. Productions under his artistic direction have been presented at the Zurich Theatre Spectacle (REQUIEMreloaded), the Hessian State Theatre Wiesbaden (Winterreise), and the Theater St. Gallen (Das Herz bebt im Stillen).

Among his recent cultural projects are the literary soundscape Street Ballads, realised in several museums across Switzerland, Bulgaria, and Italy, and the dance and film project Sakuntala’s Ring at the Bavarian State Opera. As a guest dramaturge, he collaborates with the renowned Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre in Tel Aviv, where he mentors emerging choreographers through the 1|2|3 programme. He also teaches dramaturgy, aesthetics, and theatre and dance history at the Bavarian Theatre Academy August Everding as a lecturer.

Until 2004, Serge Honegger worked as an assistant director at the Zurich Opera House, where he was involved, among other productions, in Robert Wilson’s staging of the Ring cycle. As a dramaturge, he collaborated on Heinz Spoerli’s production of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Les Indes galantes with the Zurich Ballet. This was followed by work on Cinderella with Vladimir Malakhov at the Berlin State Opera.

In 2010, as dramaturge and assistant director to Rebecca Horn, he realised a production of Elektra for the International May Festival Wiesbaden at the Hessian State Theatre Wiesbaden. Until 2015, he served as Head Dramaturge at Theater St. Gallen, overseeing its music theatre productions, before moving to the University of St. Gallen. There he completed a doctorate within the “Organisation and Culture” programme, focusing on artistic modalities of leadership in the postmodern era. His dissertation, Steering and Diversion (Lenkung und Ablenkung), was published by Schwabe Verlag.
