Program

Who has never dreamed of having thrilling adventures in a faraway fantasy world? Our second opera for families at Christmas allows you to do just that. In Oliver Knussen’s "Wo die wilden Kerle wohnen" we have a work on the programme this year that has been enthralling young & all ever since it was first performed back in 1980.

Clever, yes, perhaps, but we all know: Heroes are strong, heroes face challenges, no matter how big they are, without losing courage, without hesitating, without thinking. Heroes are not tailors. And certainly not tailors.

Based on motifs from Wolf Erlbruch's book of the same name, "Nachts" invites you on a journey into the darkest time of the day: Sounds suddenly become symphonies, houses grow into the sky and the moon is unceremoniously taken from the sky.

"Hijab offline" is far more than a biographical reappraisal of constraints; the performance exposes sexist and racist views of Muslim women.

The VRUM Performing Arts Collective plunges into the adventure of fighting fear! Based on the poem "Life doesn't Frighten me", the intergenerational ensemble is developing a production in which it explores the dangers, horrors and craziness of everyday life.

We attend the performance together. Afterwards, you can fortify yourselves in the foyer and take over the stage yourself. You become heroes, monsters or night creatures, make friends and conquer new worlds. At midnight, we present our ideas to each other. Then we roll out the sleeping mats, because where can you dream as well as on stage.

The world of the bald ibis is full of stories. Stories about beauty at second sight, friendship between animals and humans, loving companionship, respect between adults and children, about migratory birds and what family can mean.

After a lab and a Research Affiliation in spring, we invite anyone interested in the topic to a monthly reading group where we can explore new ideas, discuss texts, debate concepts and share experiences and visions. Hosted by Anna Leon.

What's that hopping, is that a frog, a rabbit or even a kangaroo? No, it's my feet! They are jumping and hopping like crazy and can't hold on at all. My heart leaps for joy.

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.

TQW DOC+ is a monthly interdisciplinary, inter-university forum for theorists on topics concerned with choreography, performance, body, art and politics at Tanzquartier Wien.

Students of Heinz-Peter Linshalm and Petra Stump-Linshalm give a concert at the museum.
