Ray Scheinecker, Katharina Senk / Senki & Elena Lach Come Closer & Stay for the Pizza

21 Oct, 16:00

for blind, visually impaired and neurodivergent audiences

Several people stand in a circle in a large rehearsal room with a concrete floor, a black curtain and visible ceiling pipes. A barefoot person in a white T-shirt and beige track pants stands in the centre, leading a movement with outstretched arms and loosely bent hands. The other participants around them follow the gesture. Some people are seen from behind or only partly, directing the focus towards the centre of the group.

A new season is beginning, and we are setting out together. The future home of brut is located in Neu Marx, in Vienna’s 3rd district. The building is still a construction site. However, we already want to get to know the surrounding area. We start by walking from the nearby U3 station Schlachthausgasse towards the new theatre. At atelier brut next door, there is time to linger and to move. You will also learn more about the upcoming brut programme.
We finish by enjoying pizza together.

A new season begins and we invite you to a new location: the future home of brut Wien in Neu Marx, in the third district. The building is still under construction. Spaces are taking shape, and much is still in the making. Before performances, dance, and long evenings will take place here, we explore the surroundings together. An event for everyone who is curious about the future brut Vienna, who wants to walk this path together, and who feels like reconnecting, meeting new people, and spending an evening in good company!

The afternoon begins with a shared walk: starting from the nearby U3 station Schlachthausgasse, Elena Lach, Ray Scheinecker, and Katharina Senk / Senki guide us through the new neighbourhood. Along the way, we encounter historical traces and contemporary urban landscapes, familiar corners and new perspectives. The walk invites us to get to know the diversity of the area, to try out new paths, and to come a little closer to the future home of brut Wien.

Afterwards, we meet at atelier brut – a new space for encounter located right next to the future theatre. Here, we take time for movement, encounter, and exchange. A special highlight: we give first insights into the upcoming season and share exciting glimpses of the programme. Maybe there are dates you’ll want to mark in your calendar right away.

We will end the evening together with pizza.
Come closer and get to know the new location, stay for the pizza!

In a rehearsal room, a group of participants move together. At the centre, a person wearing a white T-shirt with the words “Run to a magical place”, pink trousers and black trainers stands with legs wide apart and arms stretched out. Behind them, another person in a white shirt also extends their arms. Other participants are visible around them, partly cropped or blurred. The scene feels like a guided group movement exercise.

Several people bend forward in a rehearsal room as part of a shared movement exercise. At the centre, a person in a white T-shirt and beige track pants rests their hands on their thighs, lifts their head and smiles upwards. Around them, other participants are in similar positions, some blurred in the foreground. The close framing feels lively and shows a focused yet playful moment in the workshop.

A group of six people stand in a bright rehearsal room in front of a black curtain, applauding. Several people are laughing or smiling at each other. In the centre, a person with long hair wears a patterned white T-shirt and grey trousers and holds a white cane with red markings. In the blurred foreground, other participants are also clapping. The atmosphere feels open, appreciative and communal.
