irreality.tv – Exit Ghost II
07.04.2020 - 28.05.2020
“We need to fundamentally re-imagine the co-existence of humans and ghosts.”
(Amelia, former ghost hunter, Hantological Congress, Vienna 2019)
Shooting for irreality.tv’s ghost show Exit Ghost continues picking up where the Hantological Congress that took place in October 2019 left off. To facilitate new encounters between humans and ghosts as part of the next season, irreality.tv will install new production offices in Vienna in April and May, since ghosts are about to take over the city. Workshops, excursions and other events will accompany the shoots for season two. As usual with irreality.tv, anybody who is interested is invited to participate. It’s not a script that determines how the story of the ghost continues, but the desires and ideas of those involved.
Freundliche Mitte – Sportplatz Europa
(Europe, a Sports Field)
Europe as a sports field: The collective Freundliche Mitte (“friendly centre”) opens the very middle of the European playing field for visits. It’s all about encounters, resistance, and competition, about negotiating our friendly co-operation. At various spots around the sports field – the locker room, the stand, the cafeteria or the court –, the audience are invited to immerse themselves in narratives about resuscitating and occupying public spaces, stories about the creation of democratic spaces and their dissociation.
Open Call: In the Field
A festival excursion with brut Wien and the Wiener Festwochen
22.02.2019 - 31.03.2019

The Inheritance
Re-enacted works from the imagetanz archive 1989–2017
The imagetanz festival has existed in Vienna for more than 25 years now. It represented an important first step for many artists who are well-known in the Austrian dance scene today – it was here that some performers presented their very first pieces to the public. With The Inheritance, the upcoming imagetanz festival takes a look back at more than 25 years of dance history, creating a link to today’s young generation of artists.
Beginning of season 2017/18
Featuring Barbara Ungepflegt, Simon Mayer, Nesterval, notfoundyet/Laia Fabre & Thomas Kasebacher, Michikazu Matsune, Monsterfrau & Crystal Distortion, Gin Müller, Jan Machacek, Tiosha Bojorquez & Edwarda Gurrola, Alix Eynaudi u. v. m.

The Ineffable Me
Concert series featuring Bianca Casady & the C.i.A., Gazelle Twin and Mirel Wagner
19.11.2015 - 21.11.2015
„Can’t catch me, I’m syntax free, I’m preconceived, preternaturally […]“ Sonic Youth – The Ineffable Me
Three utterly different musicians visit brut for the concert series The Ineffable Me: Bianca Casady, one half of the artsy folk music duo CocoRosie, includes video art and choreography in her new solo project; electropop musician Gazelle Twin confronts the terrors of puberty in a hoodie; and Finnish artist Mirel Wagner plays gloomy blues music with a sub-pop touch. All three of them refuse to submit to the still male-dominated dictate of the pop industry, like to play with attributed identities and amaze by their ineffable, intractable musical creations.
19 November: Bianca Casady and the C.i.A.
20 November: Gazelle Twin
21 November: Mirel Wagner
Series
BRUTTO
BRUTTO is a concert series juxtaposing various artistic formats, styles, approaches and methods. A team of curators (Rania Moslam, Lisa Kortschak and Gregor Mahnert) presents small, fine shows of experimental music. But they don’t arbitrarily say ‘anything goes’, they ambitiously combine opposites and seeming opposites.
Guests at brut
One guest, two tables, 110 questions. A genially merciless interviewer provides insights into a country’s mentality. Guests at brut is a new regular series created by Graz-based company Theater im Bahnhof. In each episode, three different local personalities are thoroughly probed in 30-minute interviews. Pia Hierzegger asks them randomly drawn questions ranging from the current political situation to personal issues, thus unfolding a vivid selection of greatly varying insights, views and perspectives.
Co-operations
Wiener Festwochen
This year as well, brut is one stage of the Wiener Festwochen, which take place in May and June and combine cultural events with relevant goals and topics of the society.
