New Art

on Stage

Two people wearing orange tops and dark caps stand at the top of a scaffold structure in front of a pale wall, looking into the distance. One of them points to the right with an outstretched arm. Behind them, two tall concrete pillars rise into the clear blue sky, while the scaffold’s yellow crossbeams and silver bars give the image a strong geometric structure.

FOR NOW

Karaoke moment on a stage lit in red: two audience members sing into microphones while a performer in a black-and-white checkerboard costume leans toward them dramatically. More performers and karaoke lyrics on a screen are visible in the background. The scene feels spontaneous, loud, and playful.

BRUT HARD SOFT KISSEN After Pride Edition with KISSEN, GATAFIERA (live) & DJ Sets by anxxxious_t, yves, Elle Fierce and many more

Presented by FM4

In a dark, fog-filled space, a DJ person stands behind a DJ booth with two turntables and a mixer. The person is wearing headphones and an open, light-colored shirt over a top; their face is only partially visible due to backlighting and haze. Centered above the booth, a large glowing pink lips sculpture is mounted on the wall. The scene is bathed in purple and magenta lighting, softening edges and creating a hazy atmosphere. The DJ booth is framed by two solid columns. The overall impression is club-like, sensual, and performative, with a strong emphasis on light, sound, and presence.

It’s time to say goodbye

Two people wearing orange T-shirts and black caps stand on a scaffold platform between tall, unfinished concrete pillars. In the background, a striking high-rise building with colourful balconies in red, yellow, green and pink rises against a clear blue sky. The yellow scaffold beams and industrial surroundings contrast with the bright architecture behind them.

From 10 to 12 June (19:00–22:00), Karin Pauer & Aldo Giannotti will celebrate the end of brut Wien’s final season at brut nordwest with their durational performance FOR NOW. In this site-specific project based on the creation of a mural, the audience is invited to witness the transformation of the venue and to collectively bid farewell to the location. Free admission!

Last chance on stage

To say goodbye to brut nordwest and to Kira Kirsch as artistic director, the Hamburg-based collective Queereeoké is throwing an exuberant karaoke party on 12 June. From 22:00, the stage is yours for big farewell songs and spontaneous choreographies. Admission is free!

Meltdown, Breakdown, Get down

Two performers pose on white bedsheets and look up toward the camera. One lies on their back wearing a fluffy light-blue cropped jacket, crocheted white accessories and bold pink eye make-up; the other leans across them wearing a white mesh long-sleeve top and rings. Their intertwined pose and the soft white setting create an intimate, stylised portrait.

After the Regenbogenparade on 13 June, the party will continue right at brut nordwest. The queer party series KISSEN brings sensual beats and euphoria with BRUT HARD SOFT KISSEN After Pride Edition, as well as numerous special guests, including GATAFIERA (live) and Thundercxnt, nas.delphine, anxxxious_t, Elle Fierce, yves (DJ sets) as well as Oleksii (performance). We say goodbye to brut nordwest on the dance floor – loud, soft and sweaty.

Farewell words by Kira Kirsch & Flori Gugger

After eleven years, Kira Kirsch and Flori Gugger bid farewell to brut Wien – looking back on a time of departures, detours and movement: from Künstlerhaus out into the city, across more than one hundred venues and all the way to the temporary home of brut nordwest. A personal farewell text about places that disappear, a team that made so much possible, artists who were willing to take risks, and an institution that learned to feel at home in change.

Several performers dance against a black background and white stage haze under intense backlight. At the centre, one person in a dark, shiny top raises both arms and looks straight ahead. On the left and right, other bodies and lifted arms are partially cut off by the frame. The atmosphere feels powerful, club-like and shaped by strong contrasts of light.

Farewell messages from artists

To mark the farewell to brut nordwest, artists and companions have gathered personal messages, memories and thoughts. The result is a many-voiced farewell round – affectionate, witty, wistful and full of gratitude for shared years, shared spaces and unforgettable moments.

Three performers in a wide, empty hall form a sculptural, low pose together. Two people are dressed in flowing black fabric, while the person in the centre wears a pale white outfit with voluminous sleeves. On the left, a harp stands in front of an intense warm light source that makes haze or mist visible. The room feels open, cool and minimal.

A personal look back by Ditta Rudle

A house lost, but not its courage: in her look back, Ditta Rudle traces brut Wien’s nomadic years – from 2017 to 2021, from its eviction from Künstlerhaus to more than ninety venues across the city. A text about wandering, inventiveness, unlikely stages, artists who rethink spaces, and an audience that followed brut all over Vienna.
