What is it like to be an Israeli?
Two Israeli directors reflect on stage about a new play as well as about their lives in Europe and life in Israel itself. Witty and profound, humorous and sad at the same time, they won over the audience at ‘wortwiege’ in the Kasematten in Wiener Neustadt.
European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl – Salzkammergut 2024
The opening marathon is finished. The “Bad Ischl – Salzkammergut“ European Capital of Culture year kicked off in Bad Ischl on the weekend of January 19-21, 2024 with a whole series of events.
Demon Radio
Colorful outside and deep black inside
The Steirischer Herbst23 features a wealth of performances in the three weeks it lasts. At the same time, however, there are also static exhibitions that have a special feature. Everything that can be seen at the exhibition venues has a reference to Graz. This is probably a unique curatorial perspective that is not found to the same extent at other festivals, and for the most part not at all.
Playing piano with mountaineering equipment
On the occasion of the musikprotokoll as part of the Steirischer Herbst 23, the audience in the Helmut-List-Halle was treated to a piano concert of a different kind as an entrée.
Four women and one man
On the last day of the musikprotokoll on the occasion of the Styrian Autumn 23, the Institute of Music Theater of the Kunstuni Graz invited to an opera performance at the Mumuth.
Large contingent at the musikprotokoll in the “Steirischen Herbst” 23
With the ORF RSO Vienna under the baton of Marin Alsop, musikprotokoll offered its audience an exhilarating evening of contemporary music.
The sound of nature in the concert hall
The second evening of musikprotokoll as part of Steirischer Herbst 23 was devoted entirely to nature. The Klangforum under conductor Lin Liao performed four concerts in the List Hall and was then replaced by the Schallfeld Ensemble.
stereophony in the “Dom im Berg”
For the opening of the musikprotokoll with the title “interconnected / interdependent” in the context of the Styrian Autumn 23, those responsible programmed a varied prelude for the Dom im Berg.
Who am I anyway?
The director, author and performer Franz von Strolchen alias Christian Winkler created with the production “The Ship of Theseus” a post-dramatic piece on the topic of Roma.
Sea glitter and fire crackling
Korhan Basaran impressed the audience of the “wortwiege” with his “Dido” in the Kasematten in Wiener Neustadt.
A good story is like a fit knife
Austrian premiere of “Orlando Trip” in the Kasematen of Wiener Neustadt.
From the ape-like gait to the human jogging mania
Aleksandar Acev shows in his performance “Lucy was not long ago” that our repertoire of movements is not only anthropologically well comprehensible. He also makes clear that we express our feelings with our body at every moment. Whether we want it or not.
Orlando’s Vienna Stroll
Many of us don’t have the best memories of the lockdown era. That’s not the case for Ece Anisoglu and Julia Pacher. After all, they developed “The Orlando Project” together when culture was at a standstill on the outside. Now it had its open-air premiere in Vienna in August.
Julius Bürger – expelled and rediscovered I A Viennese composer returns
Life itself writes the most incredible stories. This sentence, often heard or read, is especially true for a special concert.
Janáček in the church
In Graz, the opera Katja Kabanova by Leoš Janáček underwent several reinterpretations by director Anika Rutkofsky. Some of them are open to discussion.
Evolution and its physical legacy
“Bones and Stones” – what rhymes so wonderfully in English sounds much more unwieldy in German.
What the dishes tell us about “Hiša Denk
Passing colourful forests and still green vineyards, we head through autumnal southern Styria to “Hiša Denk” in Slovenia, a few minutes’ drive from the Spielfeld border. At first glance, Gregor Vračko’s gourmet restaurant looks like a Sleeping Beauty.
Frankenstein’s creature at the foot of the Salzburg Fortress
Salzburg is always worth a detour. Not only because of its historical, architectural uniqueness. Theatre enthusiasts will also find a range of events there that is well worth seeing – even outside of the festival.
Why is this Shakespeare so unknown?
The production not only lives from the fact that it shows different views of a successful state and their respective representatives. The production also lives from strong, emotional moments.
When the risotto starts to smell
Carmen C. Kruse and Manuel Zwerger achieved the feat of coupling a VR performance with a live experience. European Kitchen Encounters: VR_Bania became a not only theatrical but also epicurean experience for the audience on the occasion of the ‘Musiktheatertage Wien’.
Chornobyldorf – a look back and one forward
The threat to the earth posed by technological progress, hybrid forms of human beings who practise art genres that can nevertheless never be animated by them, but “Chornobyldorf” contains all this and much more. Apart from all artistic intention, the piece is also a strong commitment to Europe.
From a Zen exercise to physical massacre
Simon Mayer combines high-tech equipment with a purely human-based choreography. Although he explores new techniques excessively, his piece “Being moved” conveys a lot of depth.
Wherever it says Ivo Dimchev, there’s pure entertainment inside
Ivo Dimchev was a guest at Impulstanz for the 15th time. And rightly so. Because each of his shows is and has been an experience. Although he has a good, recognisable USP, the artist always devotes himself to new topics. In doing so, he seems to be endowed with an almost inexhaustible creativity.
Jarrett meets Mitchell meets Harrell
“The Köln Concert” by Keith Jarrett shows itself in Trajal Harrell’s dance arrangement as a successful symbiosis of different artistic genres.
A recurring sacrifice in new guise
Dada Masilo, the South African dancer and choreographer, has made a name for herself in recent years with new interpretations of classical ballets. With “Swanlake”, “Carmen” and “Giselle”, she set strong, new interpretative scents. With “The Sacrifice”, a new arrangement of the “Sacre du Printemps”, she wanted to explore what sacrifices we are prepared to make today.
Disappeared impulse givers
In 2022, the Impulstanz Festival had invited Lenio Kaklea, a dancer and choreographer from Greece, to Vienna, as it had several times before. She was joined by the French pianist and composer of British origin, Orlando Bass, who performed live on a prepared piano.
Brutal Romanticism
“Dance. A Sylphidic Reverie in Stunts” by Florentine Holzinger transforms ballet dancers into bloodthirsty witches.
Memories in a row
This year, the Impulstanz Festival is showing productions by international dance greats like a non-stop stream. Wim Vandekeybus was represented with two new works. After his show ‘Hands do not touch your precious Me’, he showed “Scattered Memories” at the Volkstheater – a retrospective of 35 years of Ultima Vez.
Animalistic and cool calculation
Dark, threatening, somnambulistic, powerful and poetic. This is how “Hands do not touch your precious me” presents itself with the eponymous subtitle “The mingled universe of Wim Vandekeybus, Charo Calvo & Olivier de Sagazan”.
What do you really need to know about the creation of a work of art?
Jan Lauwers created a multidimensional artistic masterpiece with his “Needcompany”.
Megalomania and self-abasement
A production by the Israeli Acco Theater left the audience at the “wortwiege” festival in Wiener Neustadt with goosebumps. “The Anthology” proved to be an artful blend of different genres. The play alternated between musical cabaret, psychodrama and history lesson, but with the best means the theater has to offer: two stage professionals.
