Perpetual Poetry

A performer dressed in black lies on top of a large, cylindrical structure covered in quilted fabric. Their expression appears focused, and they seem engaged in an act of balance or movement. The minimalist white background emphasizes the contrast with the dark clothing and the installation.

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!

Magazin

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.

Artwork Season 2024/25

The artwork for season 2024/25 by filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist Nigel Gavus focuses on the performativity of everyday life and coincidences. The ‘Marocats’ series shows street cats in order to visualise their everyday situations and capture them as a contemporary document.
A pink, insect-like creature with large round eyes and thin limbs lies on a textured pink fabric. The creature has a shiny, almost translucent skin. The background consists of soft, gathered material.

Artist Playlists

In keeping with their pieces, imagetanz artists have created Spotify playlists to get the audience in the mood for their work or to send them off into the night with the right soundtrack. Björn Säfsten, for example, takes us into the night with songs by James Blake, Little Dragon, Caroline Polacek and Jessica Pratt, while Hyeji Nam takes things from melancholic to electronic with Oklou, Appleblim, Burial and Aphex Twin.
