Young musical theatre and dance companies in the spotlight: for a whole week, the stages at NEST and DSCHUNGEL WIEN will be taken over by young musical theatre and dance companies from all over Austria.

From 22 to 26 June, NEST and DSCHUNGEL WIEN are hosting the first “WILD & SCHÖN FESTIVAL“. The festival showcases exceptional dance and music theatre productions by young people aged between 14 and 24 from across Austria. It is a space where young theatre practitioners can present their themes, working methods and artistic approaches, and engage in dialogue with one another. The focus is on the invited productions and the encounters between the artists.


IN THE GARDEN OF VOICES

A world seen from a snail’s-eye view: “IN THE GARDEN OF VOICES“ is an episodic musical theatre piece based on Virginia Woolf’s short story “Kew Gardens“. It interweaves texts set to music with art songs by Alma Mahler-Werfel and specially composed elements.
