DARUM, co-headed by directors Victoria Halper and Kai Krösche, was established in 2019 and creates performances, installations, films and works of audio, video and media art, tackling the issues that tend to keep us awake at night. DARUM’s performances were nominated for the NESTROY theatre prize four times and won it twice (in 2023 and 2025). Their virtual reality performance *\[EOL\]. End of Life* was invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen as one of the ten most remarkable productions of 2024, to the Impulse Theater Festival, to Politik im freien Theater and numerous other renowned festivals; and it will continue touring. In 2025, Victoria Halper and Kai Krösche received the Austrian Outstanding Artist Award in the performing arts category for their work in the context of DARUM.
