Breaking Silence

On 19 February, after the performance No Place Like Home, you are invited to the conversation: Breaking Silence: On Limits, (In)Justice and Responsibility, with Malika Fankha, Oneka von Schrader, Asher Ó Gormáin and Emanuel Lerch. They will discuss themes such as victim protection as well as power asymmetries around sexualized violence in family systems. The talk in English will be hosted by Stefanie Sourial.

Three people in loose, dark red tops kneel close together against a black background. The person in the middle holds a red apple in one hand and looks forward, while the two people on the sides turn towards them – one of them points at the apple. Below the group, their image is reflected in a dark, slightly rippled water surface, where the three appear changed and partly in different poses.

Tickets for the imagetanz Festival 2026 (March 4–28) and the rest of the season's program (April–June) are now available in our web shop! We look forward to world and Austrian premieres, studio visits, get-togethers, and much more from and with LIFT Tanzkollektiv, Cat Jimenez, Carolina Cappelli, tanz.sucht.theater, gergő d. farkas, DARUM (Victoria Halper & Kai Krösche), Nesterval, and others.

A goose stands at night next to a wooden fence. The body is that of a goose, but the head is a donkey’s head. A very large full moon rises behind a dark forest silhouette.

imagetanz to listen to

We have been producing audio flyers for specific productions for some time now. Now, for the first time, there is one about the imagetanz 2026 programme! Dramaturges Katrin Brehm and Flori Gugger talk about the performances and provide important information about our accessibility measures. Have a listen now!
A surreal image of a flamingo standing in front of pale blue water. Its long pink neck is unnaturally extended and forms several looping, ribbon-like curves across the image. The flamingo’s head is turned to the right, with the beak slightly open. Only part of the body is visible; the focus is on the graphic shape of the neck. The image feels calm, artificial, and playfully distorted.

imagetanz 2026 – Art Work

The motifs for this year's imagetanz Art Works were created by Robin Lopvet, a visual artist and multimedia photographer based in Paris. He transforms retouching, collages and digital montages into striking visual worlds that combine fashion, web culture and art history. With a great deal of humour, he creates visual fictions that comment on the flood of images in our time.
