Veza Fernández
Chantal, the body is a text longing for perspective

Soundtrack for fall

A person lies in dense fog or smoke. They wear a light shirt and look upward, illuminated from above.

From 22 to 25 October, Matteo Haitzmann’s musical and visual highlight Im Styx baden makes its way through thick fog. While Veza Fernández appears as a manifold figure in Chantal, the body is a text longing for perspective from 6 to 8 November, accompanied by musician Zosia Hołubowska aka Mala Herba. And Alex Franz Zehetbauer sings from the heart in An Evening with on 28 November – including a touch tour for blind and visually impaired people.

Relaxed & fabulous

Four people in bold and diverse outfits pose confidently on a street. One person wears jeans, a tied shirt, and ankle boots. Another person wears a long white dress, a colorful wig, and has a white-painted face. The third person wears a short black dress with fishnet tights and has pink hair. The fourth person wears a corset with a long robe and face makeup styled like a nun. Trees, a car, and buildings are visible in the background.

Elena Lach and Ema Benčíková are collaborating with autistic and neuroqueer individuals at Spacing in: Relaxed Performance Lab (14–16 November) to develop forms of performance that allow for breaks from stimulation, freedom of movement, and empathy – and they will celebrate the whole thing with a Relaxed Drag Show by the Dragsau collective on 15 November 19:00.

New artists on stage

Zwei Personen in weißen Ganzkörperanzügen sitzen barfuß eng nebeneinander. Eine sitzt auf einem Stuhl, die andere halb auf ihren Beinen. Sie halten sich gegenseitig an Armen und Gesicht, während eine Stehlampe über ihnen hängt.

In 2025, Huggy Bears Days will once again present works by young artists at brut Wien and WUK performing arts. François-Eloi Lavignac dances a tragic ballet love story, while Laureen Drexler & Giorgia Scisciola address the subject of oppression (12, 13 & 14 November, 19:00, studio brut). Combined tickets are available!

Artwork Season 2025/26

In the 2025/26 season, we will bid farewell to brut nordwest with Kira Kirsch's final programme. That is why photographers Daniela Trost and Susanna Hofer are focusing on the venue and the grounds at Nordwestbahnhof station and staging it artistically in a new way. Their photographs open up spaces for viewing, shift boundaries and allow the interior and exterior to flow into one another.
