Because the evening begins in the foyer
Everyone knows those agonising moments before a performance: nervously waiting in the foyer, staring helplessly at your phone or enduring small talk. That’s now a thing of the past, because brut invites you to arrive together before the performance: Aperitivo is a format for exchanging ideas and immersing yourself in the topics of the evening. Over drinks and snacks, we talk to those involved in the production in a relaxed setting.
Accessible into autumn
In Spacing in: Relaxed Performance Lab from 14 to 16 November, Elena Lach and Ema Benčíková will explore accessible forms of performance with autistic and neuroqueer people – including a relaxed drag show by the Dragsau collective. And Alex Franz Zehetbauer’s catchy concert performance An Evening with will be translated into Austrian Sign Language on 14 October, followed by a tactile tour on 28 November.
A deep dive into the new season: 3 world premieres to kick off the programme
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.
