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.

Two performances in one evening:

TO PAINT A VISION
As we all know, the future lies in the dark! So how can we paint a picture of a vision? How do we bring light into the darkness, and how do we bring color into the light?

A Search for Orientation: To see in the dark, you need light. But this only makes parts of the space visible, creating a tunnel vision, while hearing gains in importance.

BODYING FRIENDSHIP
“BODYING FRIENDSHIP“ is a musical and dance quartet about friendship, trust, and mutual support. Two dancers, a pianist, and a singer explore friendship as a shared space where vulnerability has a place and fragility can be caught.
