Music theater days Vienna: A festival full of power, identity and art!
Mainz, Deutschland - in Vienna, the music theater days have started under the motto "Splice" and deal with social issues. The opening event "The Rise" of the Belgian formation Ictus tells the story of a deaf in sign language, which underlines the idea of inclusion of the festival. The Berlin group Glanz & Krawall presents the operetta "City of Teufel", which questions power structures within cultural companies and combines works by Franz von Suppè and Mikhail Bulgakow. This shows the diversity and the critical reflection that are sought at the festival.
Another remarkable work is "Let Me Play the Lion Too", which deals with the identity crises of the music legend Liberace. This staging is listed by Marino Formententi and Errortheater. The program also includes the performance "Nocturnes" by Thomas Cornelius Desi and "Electronic Archetypes" by Gilbert Handler, which are combined in the two -part piece "Splice". "The Resilience of Sisyphos" offers viewers a fascinating escape room experience, located in a space station.
variety of topics
Another highlight is "Venus in fur", a staging that addresses the gap between the wife and man. The architect duo Rust has designed a walk -in labyrinth that enables the audience to experience the dynamics of the relationship interactively. The piece of “powder” will also cause a stir, since pianist Clara Breakfast and performer Samuel Schaab make things in an innovative way.
The event also offers "BEING Karl Dieter" by Thomas Wally and Studio Dan, which promises special attention in the music theater area. The area theater in the memorial forest Aspern, staged by Georg Blaschke and Matthias Kraneblight with the Black Page Orchestra, is also one of the artistic highlights of this week. Artistic director Georg Steker and Desi emphasize that the festival productions are putting established structures and paradigms to the test.
audience award for contemporary theater
In addition, students from the children's and youth theater also choose their favorites, with the Next Liberty Theater in Graz for the play "Hexe Hillary goes into the opera" by Peter Lund's audience award in this category. This theater specializes in programs for children and adolescents and regularly guest in South Tyrol.
The trophies for the winners are designed by the artist Martin Pohl and presented to the two winning stages. This type of award supports the connection between the audience and the theater productions, which is of great importance, especially in the current time.
The cultural events in Germany are rounded off by the Plug & Play Theater Festival, which takes place in Mainz from May 29 to June 1, 2025. This festival is aimed at young director and shows productions from the free scene. It is considered an important supporter of new talents in studying directing and thus offers a platform for creative minds.
