Kopf hoch & Simon Mayer
Colourful Greyzones
Come a little bit closer as Simon Mayer and his companions from ten years of joint artistic creation fill the special place between distance and proximity with colourful areas. They will push open the doors and windows to let some fresh air back into life. In co-operation with brut Wien and Brunnenpassage, Colourful Greyzones will paint the pandemic grey in lively colours by way of three artistic interventions in public space and open-air formats: Intimate one-on-one concerts, performative reviews and previews, exercises in couples and solo dance, interactive sign dates and a lot more will lure the audience outside and create open spaces to meet and play.
INFO: If the weather is bad, there is an indoor variant for all events.
