Fifty years after '68, the new issue of the GUESTS series in brut is all about the different facets of this number. With the former Volkstheater director Emmy Werner, author and curator Gerhild Steinbuch and the film director Paul-Julien Robert, three people are guests at Pia Hierzegger, in whose biographies '68 plays or played a role.
Guests are:
Paul-Julien Robert (director of the documentary MY FATHERS, MY MOTHER AND ME)
Emmy Werner (Director and former director of Volkstheater)
Gerhild Steinbuch (Author and curator, founding member of Nazis & Goldmund)
One guest, two tables, 110 questions. The regular brut series GUESTS – A Concentrated Talk Show features Pia Hierzegger of Theater im Bahnhof as a genial but merciless interviewer probing different Vienna personalities one after the other in intimate one-on-one conversations. The questions, drawn at random, may range from the current political situation to intimate personal issues. Their purpose is not to explain, expose or denounce. Instead, the audience should be given insights into the guests’ worlds and the country’s mentality. And yet, sometimes there might be a point where unpleasant follow-up questions are in order… Thus unfolds a vivid selection of greatly varying insights, views and perspectives during each show.
Graz-based Theater im Bahnhof makes contemporary theatre for the people and deals with the Austrian identity between tradition and pop culture. Austria’s largest professional but independent theatre company has been regularly featured in brut’s programming.
