Together with people from Augustin, Obdach Forum, neunerhaus, and integration wien, performance maker Jen Rosenblit will spend a week exploring the stage as a social and atmospheric space: landscapes, bodies of water, and weather phenomena will trigger the imagination, encounters, and joint action.

A pile of sand encourages relaxation. A rolled-out lawn practically begs to be mown. And existential questions arise: What might this afternoon look like if I were a collapsing iceberg or a volcano about to erupt? How would a river, or the sea, act in the supermarket? With a penchant for absurdity and indecipherability that unfailingly germinates something magical and familiar, Rosenblit leads the group through the performance workshop, opening the process to the audience on the last day. Perhaps the vastness and the special properties of land can inspire our bodies to navigate the world just a little bit better.
