Touch tour
for FLASHMOB by Stefanie Sourial
Before the performance on Sat. 17.01., there will be a touch tour at 19:00 at free admission, where Stefanie Sourial, together with Elena Lach and Wibke Scheler, will present “little gadgets” and provide information about the performance. The meeting point is at 18:50 in the foyer.
With touch tours, brut Wien offers an alternative to verbal introductions to performances, focusing on senses that have previously been neglected during theatre visits. Tactile tours are aimed at people with and without disabilities. The format enables visitors to get closer to the stage, costumes and props via their sense of touch and explore them intensively. Visitors can also get in touch with performers and receive a wide range of contextual information.
Stefanie Sourial realises their own pieces and stand-up shows, including PHARAO IN DRAG (2025), NEW ENDINGS (2023), CITY OF DIASPORA (2021), the COLONIAL COCKTAIL trilogy (2019–2020), FREAK – wo endet der Traum und wo beginnt das Trauma(2014–2015) and Difficulties You Might Get Being An Artist In Austria (2011). Since 2017, Stefanie Sourial has been part of the PCCC* – Politically Correct Comedy Club. From 2009 to 2015, they were in Katrina Daschner’s CLUB BURLESQUE BRUTAL. Since 2009, they have worked and performed with Vienna-based artists such as Malarina, Denice Bourbon, Katrina Daschner, Gin Müller, Veza Fernández, Nina Kusturica, Katharina Mückstein and Kurt Palm. In 2007, they graduated from the International School for Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. Since 2016, they have taught performance art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Stefanie Sourial’s performances, which are anti-racist, queer and socio-critical, combine two types of narration: the historical and the personal – always with a focus on the political. www.stefaniesourial.com
Elena Lach (they/she) lives in Vienna and works as a performer, personal assistant and assistant director. They explore the queer use of public space in site-specific performance. Their participatory installation SPACE HOLDER, which aims to enable access to queer parties for neurodivergent people, has been featured at flucc and 4lthangrund. As part of the Careful Collisions Collective, they create queer-centred movement spaces for contact improvisation. Elena Lach loves questions, non-verbal communication, and practices social awkwardness as survival strategy and relational practice.
Wibke Scheler is a creative producer and cultural and event manager who has worked for PACT Zollverein Essen, Silke Z./resistdance Köln, Tanztendenz München and Tanz Atelier Wien, among others. She combines clear artistic communication with efficient project management and effective press and marketing work. As a Germanist, she brings a keen sensitivity to language, and as a theatre scholar, she has a solid background in content. Since 2023, she has been working with tanz.sucht.theater, among others, with a special focus on access, participation and inclusion in the field of dance and performance. In addition, she is involved as an Access Friend for brut barrierefrei.
