Ray Scheinecker, Ema Bencikova & Elena Lach
Move to the Beat – Stay for One Last Lasagna
for blind, visually impaired people and neuroqueer people as well as friends and allies of brut accessible
The theatre season is coming to an end, and the upcoming season brings many changes: brut Wien is moving to the 3rd district! This moment offers an opportunity to come together once more for a summer evening in the courtyard of brut nordwest – with movement, activities, and good food.
Over a Lasagna, we invite you to look back on the highlights of the past season and turn to the question: what does it mean when a theatre changes its location? At the same time, there will be first insights into what the upcoming season holds as part of brut barrierefrei.
This is a community event, and we explicitly welcome allies and friends of brut barrierefrei.
Ray Scheinecker (she/her) lives in Vienna as a white, disabled artist and psychologist. Before being part of PARASOL (TQW) in 2022, Ray had already appeared in pieces by Ian Kaler, Alix Eynaudi and Michael Turinsky. Her movement language is derived from various practices such as urban styles, acrobatics and contemporary. Last year, Ray entered the field of audio description based on her own experience as a visually impaired person. She now wants to share her perspective with the approach to create more accessibility for blind and visually impaired audiences in the dance and performance scene.
Ema Bencikova (she/they) is a Vienna-based curator, theatre director and care worker. In their artistic research, they concentrate on a critical phenomenology of non-normative embodiment using methods of institutional constructivism and infrastructural analysis of assistance within trans and crip communities. From 2019 to 2024, they headed the Stopy Snov neurodivergent community theatre in Bratislava. In 2025, they curated exhibitions at the ŠKUC Gallery in Ljubljana and the Kunsthalle Exnergasse in Vienna. Also, Ema Bencikova received a scholarship from the intersectional organisation ‘kültüř gemma!’ In the autumn of 2025, together with Elena Lach, they hosted a workshop entitled Spacing in: Relaxed Performance Lab for autistic and neuroqueer persons as part of accessible brut.
Elena Lach (they/she) lives in Vienna and works as a performer, personal assistant and director’s assistant. They research the queer use of public spaces under the name of SPACE HOLDER, helping neurodivergent people to access queer parties, so far at flucc and 4lthangrund. As part of the Careful Collisions Collective, Elena Lach designs queer movement spaces for contact improvisation. They love questions and non-verbal communication and practice social idiosyncrasy as a survival strategy and a way to conduct relationships. In the autumn of 2025, Elena Lach, together with Ema Bencikova, hosted a workshop entitled Spacing in: Relaxed Performance Lab for autistic and neuroqueer persons as part of accessible brut.
