Salzkammergut, let’s live together!

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 18:02:00 +0000

The panel discussion focussing on the Salzkammergut region will take place after the film screening of the German documentary WEM GEHÖRT MEIN DORF? (director: Christoph Eder). The discussion event aims to provide a platform to shed light on the many facets of community life and the cultural characteristics of this unique region and at the same time place them in the context of current developments in Europe.

Panel guests: Christoph Eder (director); further guests will be announced in early September
Moderation: Franz Koppelstätter (afo architekturforum oberösterreich)

As part of the project “Let’s live together! Communities and Culture on Screen”, Kino Ebensee and Crossing Europe Filmfestival Linz are presenting six documentaries and one feature film from 19 to 21 September. The selected works provide an insight into the most diverse models of social and cultural coexistence. Partly located in rural areas and in the context of current social realities and developments, the programme invites the audience to immerse themselves in multifaceted stories of life in today’s Europe. Film talks and the panel discussion “Salzkammergut, let’s live together!” provide the opportunity for direct, on-site discussion.

Disruption. A game

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:02:34 +0000

In the forecourt, the game tables are ready for a sociable introduction to Friederike Mayröcker’s art of writing and her wealth of words. (Fragments of Friederike Mayröcker’s literature become puzzle pieces in a theatrical board game that rummages through her work with relish, putting all participants in the same starting position and not giving experts a head start). Take a seat!

Sweat and tears are also just salt and water

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:01:32 +0000

The old woman has worked hard all her life, mostly unpaid and always unappreciated. Now the granddaughter, no longer quite young herself, thinks that grandma has earned a retirement where she can be looked after and pampered. But as is usual in our capitalist logic, she won’t do it herself, but will hire an Eastern European carer to do it for her. Why, she asks, is there a wage gap?

The shadows of the past come face to face with the young, silent Eastern European carer, who only raises her voice with her songs, which deal with the longing for freedom and self-determination. Christine Teichmann’s text puts her finger in the open wounds of our social and societal system and is based on research and interviews conducted in the Salzkammergut with those affected.

Text: Christine Teichmann

Director: Alexander Mitterer

RIP Refrain

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:00:58 +0000

The journey sometimes turns into a mysterious nightmare, sometimes into a bizarre carnival. We encounter modern witches, sensual robots and lost twins, resurrected pop singers from the last century and hybrid animals from the next. Allegories of our times, past and future, celebrating life and fantasy in a happy and restless dance of death to combat the fear of loss, farewell and the end – an end that is always also a beginning, an eternal refrain.

Text, direction and performance: Lucie Dordoigne & Anaïs Durand-Mauptit
Guest performance – A project of the Academy of Performing Arts Ludwigburg

My favourite animal is called Winter

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 22:59:45 +0000

He encounters corrupt politicians and paranoid engineers, brutal ex-lovers and death-obsessed pathologists, a “deep state” beneath and beside our reality, a macabre network worse than any conspiracy theory. A wildly comic journey through a rotting social body, a roundelay of malice, corruption, destruction of nature, property fraud, nationalism and perversion. An attack on nostalgia and repression full of laughter and melancholy. A contemporary operetta as a series in 5 episodes.
Ferdinand Schmalz (text) and Lukas Kranzelbinder (music) are among the most exciting Austrian artists of their generation and are working together for the first time on this project.

Music: Lukas Kranzelbinder / Text: Ferdinand Schmalz / Director: Alexander Charim / Stage and costume design: Ivan Bazak

Friederike Mayröcker goes to the Lehár Theatre and thinks :

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 22:59:41 +0000

The poet, writer and radio play author Friederike Mayröcker lived for almost a century and made an impressive mark on German literature. She felt her environment with all her senses, moulded it into language and released it again in her very own way as “Proesie”. She described her flat as a “writing box”, where she formed an organism with her texts and words, and for one magical hour the Lehár Theatre was transformed into a Mayröcker’s place of words. A staircase, a socket, a wardrobe mirror will become a text-image-object with a quotation from her work, her signatures will be drawn in the dust of the past and the long invisible will become small works of art of the present.

“… we all felt = in the belly of the mountain = the breath of death. While the waning moon glided over the hills, back then in Bad Ischl.” (from: fleurs, 2016)

Europe Speech: Zweig

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 22:51:14 +0000

The conditions are the same for everyone: One text as a common basis, a maximum of two performers, minimal technical effort. Six theatrical commentaries from different perspectives on the still fragile unification of Europe. What does Stefan Zweig’s dream of European unification as the only defence against war and nationalism still have to say to us today? Visit Europe while it still stands!

Take a look over the shoulder

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 22:49:30 +0000

Men have names and faces, women are virtually absent. Conversations with local women shed light on the legacy young women are inheriting in the countryside. Together with them, we scrutinise the common image of women in smart dirndl dresses at various traditional festivals by delving into family stories. We ask how the political circumstances of history have affected the biographies of their ancestors. What happened in 1968, were there hippies in the Salzkammergut? What did tourism mean for women? Work, money, modest prosperity? What impact did democratisation, emancipation and revolt have on local women? What roles do religion and politics play today? What forms of remembrance have emerged? How do we deal with painful or shameful memories?
The discussions will also revolve around questions of individual history: What has this female history done to me? How has it shaped me? All of this becomes visible in a performance in which the players lend their voices to women. Perhaps we need to rethink life in the countryside beyond all the clichés.

Beer tent

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 22:48:51 +0000

In the field of tension between excessive drinking, sexual objectification and community life, a utopian future is to be outlined that is characterised by inclusive tradition and breaks through binaries. ‘Bierzelt’ invites the audience to redefine and reshape the space of the beer tent together with the performers.

“Give me a beer or I’ll fall over / Let’s sit a little longer, stay a little longer / It’s fun and beautiful in the beer tent, you can’t go home / Beer tent music makes many hearts beat faster / I think a beer tent is a piece of heaven for many men.” – Grandad, 79

Das Denkende Herz

siwa_bdietrichsteiner — Wed, 22 May 2024 00:00:40 +0000

In the reading at the opening of the “European Theatre Festival”, actress Mavie Hörbiger juxtaposes works by Stefan Zweig with texts by David Grossmann. Stefan Zweig’s radical call for European unification in the spirit of humanism meets David Grossmann’s literary reflections on the crisis in the Middle East. Two unconditional fighters for empathy and against hatred question the possibility of peace in violent times.

How can old patterns be broken up and reshaped? In the project Deconfining Arts, Culture, and Policies, artistic partners from Europe and Africa develop new strategies for creative collaboration together. Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024 is designing this multi-year dialogue format together with Christoph Schlingensief’s Operndorf Afrika in Burkina Faso. The theatre texts by Sidiki Yougbaré and Thiemo Strutzenberger, which were created as part of a writers’ residency in Bad Ischl, will be premiered with an international ensemble. Both texts reflect on memory work and the (im)possibility of understanding one’s own history.
