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.


WHEN THE FOREST GOES

In a fully digitised world, where human needs and social interactions have been streamlined to the extreme and nature barely exists, a group of young “Soldiers“ at the worldbuilding-building are working to craft a beautiful world for the “Digis“.

As the digital world becomes increasingly flat and even the last remaining trees are in danger of disappearing, Rosi and the other Soldiers are trying to save the forest. Together, the “Soldiers“, “Losts“ and “Digis“ must learn to navigate both analogue and digital life and build a shared future.
