Minigolf, Pinsa, Drinks & DJ at MQ Forecourt.

This evening sees four performers undergo an absurd orgy of entrances and exits, a luscious confusion of roles, costumes and scene changes. The actors appear remote controlled as they react to sounds played by a ghostlike director.

The Austrian performance artist Florentina Holzinger demolishes stage genres and visual habits. Setting out from Paul Hindemith’s one-act opera "Sancta Susanna" (premiered in 1922), she joins forces with an ensemble of opera singers, sex workers and body modification artists to investigate the way female identities and bodies are trimmed in religious systems and rites.

Rainer Prohaska, artist and founder of Futurama Lab, will be present over a period of ten days with his team and with the involvement of visitors with a sculpture performance at the MuseumsQuartier.

In this sculpture-cum-sound installation complemented by live movement performance, multidisciplinary artist nora chipaumire animates the resonances of the word "Dambudzo", creating a radical, participatory space of decolonised possibility.

Join us on a journey of discovery and dare to go with us where few people have gone before. When does our heart slip into our trousers? Is the fear in our bones or in our stomach? What makes us sweat? Do we react with lightning speed? Do we fall into a state of paralysis or should we face our fear?

Visual artist Agnieszka Polska, awarded the renowned Preis der Nationalgalerie in Berlin, brings her first production to the stage.

Young slam poets, word artists and lyricists take note! Here you can tell stories, rhyme, rap, whisper, scream, read or freely narrate. The only conditions are a time limit of 5 minutes, a self-written and performed text and the renunciation of props, disguise and singing.

It is one of the art world’s greatest scandals. In 2004, a businessman and his wife bought a painting by expressionist painter Mark Rothko for 8.3 million dollars. They had fallen in love with it on sight. Only, as it turns out years later, it wasn’t painted by Rothko, but by a Chinese migrant from Queens. Can a forged painting trigger real feelings?
