Blind Date West

Part 3 of the Europa trilogy

UNIQUE IN VIENNA ON FEBRUARY 21, 2025:

"The water is rising"
When you travel to the West, you expect little that is new. Everything should actually be the same as here, except that the language is different. But the actual experience is quite different. And there are traces of the war everywhere, which are now also good for tourism. Staging and facades are part of it. There are expensive museums at the highest level. Europe as a permanent exhibition. And then you notice from the access controls how…

GAS TONI

A family business at a tipping point

On the day of the National Council elections, GAS TONI celebrated that the political system would finally be restructured and no stone would be left unturned. The awakening was bitter. Everything remains the same... or so it seems.

Eine Kartografie von Graz

GAME OF DEATH

Impro Solo with Jacob Banigan

Taking inspiration from the audience and a deck of fortune-telling cards, Jacob Banigan evokes exotic settings, embodies diverse characters and hurtles through intriguing stories. But he is not totally in control; there are twists he cannot predict, elements are controlled by the audience, and the Egg Timer Of Death is always ticking...
