The project consists of four strands that will take place at different times throughout the year. Four sound pillars of the culture of the Salzkammergut region, which are at the same time clichés, will, with the use of the tried-and-true, be continued anew into the future in a sustainable way. A new point of view of the tried-and-true and allegedly stable should be experienced less as a provocation than as an expansion of perception through a sensory activity with what is familiar. It is intended for participants including audiences as well as people who only hear about it in passing or randomly. It is intended more as a euphoric and minimalistic posing of exciting questions than as a thoroughly choreographed collection of remarks and displacements of “what has always been there”. Clichés will become material and serve as the tools for their own transcendence and new interpretation.
