cultural events in the region

The cultural energy in Mistelbach is not limited to Wurmitzer or the stage play class. On June 17th and 18th, the Ensemble Jungbühne of the Musik- und Kunstschule Waidhofen/Ybbstal will perform at 6.30 p.m. in the impulse district of Waidhofen on the Ybbs "Der Talisman" by Johann Nestroy. For the little visitors, a reading of the children's book "Hippolyt and the Secret Message" by Ferdinand Auhser will take place in the Museum am Cathedral in St. Pölten on June 20th.

Another highlight is the premiere of "In 80 days around the world" after Jules Verne by the Theater Purkersdorf on June 20 in the Steerbruch Dambach. This performance marks the beginning of a series of events that will take place until July 13th. The tension of the local cultural scene is strengthened by the numerous events and free entry options, which attracts citizens and strengthens the sense of community.

conversations about conflicts and loneliness

parallel to cultural events also take place important discussions about social issues. At the Berlinale Film Festival, Shai Hoffman from Israel and Ahmad Dakhnous from Palestine used a Tiny House to promote discourses on the ongoing conflict in their home country. The initiative, some of which was characterized by protests against the war between Israel and Hamas, offered the festival visitors the opportunity to exchange their thoughts and to discuss various ideas for conflict resolution. Dakhnous emphasized the need for dialogue between Muslims and Jews in Germany, while the conversations are summarized in a podcast.

The pandeme -related isolation also focused on loneliness. Manfred Spitzer describes loneliness as a "undetected clinical picture", which has accentuated through the Covid 19 pandemic. Digital communication has replaced direct contact in many areas, which can result in social poverty; Not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively. Social networks can offer a connection for some, but physical support is often missing.

summarized it is shown that the diverse cultural events not only serve for entertainment, but also create space for significant conversations with social problems. The linking of art, theater play and social interaction could be seen as an essential part of a healthy society in an increasingly digitized world.
