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”.
The Jungle Book – reimagined
With “Jungle Book reimagined”, Akram Khan created a story of Rudyard Kipling’s classic that has been revised in terms of content. Designed as a great dance spectacle, it is sure to conquer the stages of the world.
Much and little and yet more than enough of everything
On the opening weekend, the Festival Impulstanz showed “Dances for an actress” by Jérôme Bel and “Vollmond. A Piece by Pina Bausch”. If you take these two productions as a taste of what may be to come, you can justifiably look forward to the next Dance Weeks in Vienna.
You can find all kinds of things in a landfill site
At readings, you don’t just get an insight into a new book. With luck, you also learn something about the author’s personality. Wolf Haas opened a small window for his audience at the Orpheum in Graz to a not ordinary writer’s story.
Only stagnation means freedom
Humans live isolated from other individuals as hybrid beings, controlled by a global intelligence machinery. Caroline Peters and Ledwald impressed at the Hamakom as part of the Vienna Festival.
An animal election campaign
When it comes to voting, one is spoilt for choice in the truest sense of the word. Right, left, moderate, up or down, established party or newcomer – you should at least familiarize yourself with their election programmes. The Schubert Theatre, specialised in puppet theatre for adults, presents its audience with a special treat with “Election Campaign of the Animals”.
Quo vaditis, Rabtaldirndln and toxic dreams?
Graz housewives versus Viennese housewives – an astonishingly tiring combination
An exciting mixture
Bouchra Ouizguen presented a cross-border dance project with her work “Elephant” as part of the Wiener Festwochen.
What a time!
In the years of the Trump era, we around the globe became familiar with the concept of fake-news. So much so that we now think we have to adopt lying ourselves in order to survive in society. Martin Gruber and his ensemble have taken a closer look at the phenomenon. But not only this one.
Not for the faint-hearted
Blood wants blood. This sentence from “Macbeth. After William Shakespeare” by Heiner Müller was taken more than literally by director Stephan Rottkamp. The production of the play at the Schauspielhaus in Graz begins bloody and ends bloody. In between: Blood by the bucketful.
The horror does not only take place in the theatre
Abuse of power begins in the family and it is passed on from there. With ‘L’etang / Der Teich’, Gisèle Vienne succeeded in creating a highly emotional adaptation of Robert Walser’s play of the same name. It shows how children are emotionally at the mercy of their parents and how much they suffer when they are deprived of love.
At the breaking point between the old and the new
Tschechows „Der Kirschgarten“ in der Inszenierung von Tiago Rodrigues, überzeugte bei den Wiener Festwochen gleich in mehrfacher Hinsicht.
A lot of head, not much heart
In ‘Un imagen interior’ by the group El Conde de Torrefiel, reaching into the magic box of post-dramatic theatre only worked to a limited extent.
Everything has already been there and yet much that is new
Michael Köhlmeier filled the Graz Schauspielhaus with his “Evening of Greek Mythology”. A good idea to get still hesitant audiences back into the house after the pandemic-induced break.
Music and dance without time and space
TUMULUS – the new work by François Chaignaud and conductor Geoffroy Jourdain unites dance with historical and contemporary music. It tells of the transience of life as well as of the desire to celebrate and enjoy life.
Playing the piano means much more than just pressing the keys
Peter Bence is currently filling concert halls around the globe. Like hardly any other pianist, he has experienced a meteoric rise within a short time.
Improbable – The Paper Man
What may sound like a straightforward story about football and Nazis turns out to be so much more. Laying bare the layers of society, of patriarchy and white privilege, The Paper Man playfully questions predominant narratives and power structures.
The beautiful Leviathan
The Internationale Bühnenwerkstatt opened its annual festival with James Wilton Dance Cie’s “Leviathan based on Moby-Dick”, a performance loaded with testosterone and violence, but also plenty of poetry.
The Sound Magician
I have come to understand that ‘sound’ in my life is the means by which I can best express myself, and with which I can help people greatly.
All that the heart desires
The big market hall in Budapest is always worth a visit
Coffee Houses in Budapest – a Winter’s Tale
The coffee houses in Budapest, at least the ones described here, are worth a trip to this beautiful city alone.
Fuck you mother!
In her latest production, “Todo el cielo sobre la tierra” (El sindrome de Wendy), Angélica Liddell pushes all mothers off their supposed throne, which they have ascended qua the birth of their children, and shouts at them that there is no reason for them to claim a “dignity surcharge” for themselves.
Martin Kippenberger thanks the cleaning lady
Over the past two days, a short piece of news has spread like wildfire in the print and online editorial offices of the world, even though the news originated in the cultural sector: Cleaning lady scrubs away artwork! Behind this headline is the overzealous action of...
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”.
