A woman around fifty is done watching the exploitation of nature, excessive land consumption, and soil sealing gone wild. One day, she leaves her old life behind and decides to do something. She hastily sells her flat and buys a football field to save it from sealing. The paradise she plans to build here is supposed to server as an existential playground for her and all living beings that settle here. Ridiculed by her own family, the woman tilts at windmills fighting for wind turbines. One can still dream, right? Only sometimes, the dream will turn into a nightmare.

Alone against climate change: The climate competition RUNNING OUT (ZU ENDE GEHEN) by theatre-makers Johanna Hierzegger, Pia Hierzegger, and Gabriela Hiti is a journey meandering between an altruistic act and egomaniacal frenzy. Will the protagonist be exhausted enough to give up or will she emerge victorious?

Graz-based Theater im Bahnhof (TiB) identifies as contemporary popular theatre investigating the Austrian identity. ‘As identity requires permanent negotiation, our way of doing theatre needs to evolve constantly, too.’ TiB is also the biggest professional, independent theatre group permanently in existing in Austria.

Johanna Hierzegger, Pia Hierzegger, and Gabriela Hiti have created theatrical audio tours and bus rides for TiB. Their co-creations Cleaning Up (Aufräumen) and Ladies’ Gymnastics (Frauenturnen) have been presented at brut Wien.
