Perpetual Poetry

Two people hold a plank position while hanging out either side of a large, fabric-covered cylinder, reaching for pieces of paper on the floor.

In Roll Over and Over and Over by Oleg Soulimenko, the audience follows a large cylinder that becomes the center of an emotionally and physically involving performance. In the hall of brut nordwest, two performers interact with the object and explore violence in its many manifestations. The performance opens up the subject to the unconscious and develops an expressive, physically perceptible language beyond classical narrative forms.

96 % occupancy at imagetanz 2025!

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.

Magazin

An artist wearing black trousers and a green knitted jumper works on a sculptural installation made of painted branches leaning against a white wall. Around her are rugs, fabrics, and art materials. Various artworks hang on the wall, including a floral textile piece, a banner reading “CHEESE IN YOUR WINGS,” and a woven object.

Selection made: 5 residences in brut Wien awarded

The decision has been made: The artists for the rehearsal residencies at brut Wien in May and June 2025 have been chosen! In view of the high quality and large number of submissions, the originally planned number of three residencies has been increased to five. In this way, we want to give even more exciting artistic projects space to unfold.

Open Call – Academy of Unlearning

The Academy of Unlearning by kulturen in bewegung is a mentoring programme lasting several months for migrant and BIPoC women* in cultural mediation. It connects mentees with cultural mediators from Viennese institutions, including brut Wien, offers insights into their work and structures and enables the joint development and implementation of a mediation idea in the institution's programme.
In a bright, modern room, about a dozen people are lying relaxed on mats and beanbags. Some have their eyes closed or are gazing calmly upwards. A large wall artwork featuring an abstract pink figure and the white text brut dominates the background. In the foreground, a wooden folding chair with a black fabric backrest printed with brut nordwest is visible. Some plants at the edge of the image enhance the calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Listen to Sick Times by Angela Alves

Why is resting so difficult? Within the precarious and performance-oriented structures in which we create art, it is particularly difficult to consciously pause. As part of imagetanz, the audio performance ‘Sick Times – Resting and quitting as a resistant practice’ by Angela Alves took place at brut nordwest in March, questioning the usual working structures. You can listen to the content here.
