Program

In "RANGELN" different perspectives on physical confrontation and the negotiation of forces are opened up. Poetic, sensual and absurd, the performers explore the versatility and self-empowering potential of this archetypal form of play.

In Vienna the musicians now celebrate the power of music with Handel’s "Alexander’s Feast". The ode to Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music, was written in 1736 and describes a banquet held by Alexander the Great at which jubilation at the victories in battle ultimately gives way to delight in the power of music.

In "Islands", the audience is transported to a place torn out of the conventional space-time continuum. Orbiting the conflicts of beauty and danger, existence must be rebuilt from scratch and living learnt anew.

Carl Maria von Weber’s "Der Freischütz" delves deep into romantic worlds with a hunters’ chorus and a maiden’s wreath, woods and Wolf’s Glen, plus sinister forces and white roses that offer protection from evil.

"God is a band - a reconstruction of life" is a performance concert in which dramatic figures from Greek mythology merge with versions of ourselves.

"Bravo Girl" is a music, dance and text collage that addresses the current public discourse on sex and gender and deals with clichés, role models and sexism.

Museumsquartier instead of Naschmarkt, Halle E instead of Theater an der Wien... The 22/23 season brings with it not only the new artistic director Stefan Herheim, but also a new venue. We would like to continue to give all theater enthusiasts the opportunity to look behind the scenes and at the same time get to know our new venue.

"Natural Drama" questions the concept of "nature" through the lens of contemporary environmental issues and from a historical and socio-political perspective, with all that implies for the body. It is a kind of futuristic mythology with its roots in dance traditions, both seen and hidden, preserved and lost.

Dancers & movement-motivated people can exchange creative ideas, train freely and get inspired in a 2-hour jam session - regardless of origin, style or age.

"So nah wie nie zuvor" is a dance performance about encounters that are possible anywhere, anytime and with anyone. It's about the value of face-to-face communication, relationship building, and how lasting first impressions are.

The JOUR FIXE Art Education is aimed at the art education scene, all theater, dance, and museum educators, as well as interested parties, and invites you to get to know each other personally, to network, and to engage in a lively exchange about formats, terms, structures, and methods.

Enter a performative spatial installation in which you will meet a variety of feminists. Follow the heroines you want to meet and intervene in the action. Decide which ancestors you meet and witness their conversation. The history of feminisms is as diverse as that of its protagonists, and their clashes are marked by conflicts of interest.
