"[EOL]. End of Life" by DARUM is Video of the year

Several people wearing VR headsets stand in marked squares of a darkened room, separated by yellow lines.

In Theater heute's critics' poll, [EOL]. End of Life by DARUM (Victoria Halper and Kai Krösche) was voted Video of the Year. 47 critics have selected the highlights of the 2024/25 season. Congratulations to the artists and we are delighted that their virtual reality performance will be returning to our programme in November. We will be publishing the dates and starting the ticket sale on 17 September. Save the date!

A deep dive into the new season: 3 world premieres to kick off the programme

Two people are sitting relaxed next to each other in a simple, bright room. Both are wearing dark tops and are looking calmly and directly at the camera.

At the start of the season, you can look forward to three world premieres – by Karin Pauer, Olivia Hild & Lens Kühleitner and Matteo Haitzmann. From 8 to 11 October, Karin Pauer will dive into the depths of marine ecosystems with Hugo Le Brigand and Ixchel Mendoza Hernández in LOW at brut nordwest. At studio brut from 15 to 18 October, Lens Kühleitner & Olivia Hild will create a sound performance in trace my layers, thrust your guts, approaching the geological process of thrusting. Inspired by the mythical river Styx, Matteo Haitzmann explores being lost in the in-between and bathes in dense fog from 22 to 25 October at brut nordwest. Advance ticket sales for the brut programme in October and November 2025 start on 17 September.

Let's talk about brut

Dear artists ... With warm regards, Tomasz Kireńczuk

Dear artists, I know that many of you are currently preparing applications for the upcoming Kuratorium deadline, and I can imagine that some of you are already envisioning new works in the context of brut. I regret that I will not be able to meet you in person before the September deadline, I hope we see each other soon, though I know it may take some time. I look forward to spending time together, and discovering what we are searching for and standing for. From September 2025, I will be visiting Vienna regularly, and by autumn 2026 I will move there permanently — which will allow us to meet and connect more easily. For now, I want to share some ideas this short letter.
