H13 Lower Austria Prize for Stina Fors

A woman in a theatrical costume stands in a large hall, her mouth wide open in an exaggerated expression, as if she is about to speak or shout.

Performance artist Stina Fors wins the H13 Lower Austria Prize for Performance 2025 for her project Answer me, Pythia. In a two-week performance in November and December 2025, Fors transforms the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich into the Oracle of Delphi and invites visitors to interactive, experimental encounters. In addition to the prize money, she will receive a residency at Studio Voltaire in London. Congratulations!

A group of young people are chatting at a party or event in a club setting with purple and red lighting. A disco ball on the ceiling casts light rays, while guests hold drinks and socialize in a relaxed atmosphere. A banner in the background partially reads “WE ARE HIDING ....”

This year’s extremely successful imagetanz festival at brut Wien came to a close on 12 April. In five venues over four weeks, 2,700 visitors experienced seven productions on stage with 17 performances (including four world premieres and two Austrian premieres), five showings, seven artist talks, three parties, two workshops, a book presentation, a touch tour and much more. With a total of 31 individual events, a occupancy rate of 96% was achieved. Thank you to everyone who watched, crossed a rice paddy, ate pizza, danced, clapped and cheered together with us!

Support for the Serapions Theater | Odeon

A promotional image for the crowdfunding campaign of Serapions Theater, celebrating 45 years at the Odeon. The image is split in two: on the left, an artistic blurred photo of two dancers, one with long red hair, in a dramatic embrace; on the right, a group of expressive dancers in motion on stage. Below, on an orange background, the text reads: “45 years Serapions Theater” and in large turquoise letters “CROWDFUNDING.” Below that, it says: “Join now & secure unique thank-you gifts!”

The Serapions Theater, which created a place of creative diversity and artistic freedom in Vienna with the founding of the Odeon, is celebrating 45 years of theater art. In order to preserve and continue writing a chapter of theatre history together, there is now the opportunity to participate in crowdfunding and to set an example for the future of the Odeon in Vienna on the occasion of the anniversary.
