MQ Artists-in-Residence present their work in their studios

In Milo Rau’s first opera treatment, Emperor Tito’s well-wishing commitment degenerates into a strategy of sheer self-preservation, an empty revolutionary platitude. Together with eighteen people who live in Vienna and have partly themselves experienced repressive regimes, the Camerata Salzburg and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir, Rau undertakes an actualisation of Mozart’s last opera.

TQW DOC+ is a monthly interdisciplinary, inter-university forum for theorists on topics concerned with choreography, performance, body, art and politics at Tanzquartier Wien.

Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Vienna: hopping to a different city for the weekend has become part of a lifestyle. In addition to city breaks as an economic factor and contributing to international flair, conflicts in many cities are becoming increasingly apparent.

The ramifications of World War I called for new depictions of reality in art. The resignation, accusations and indescribable hardship that characterized this time on the one hand, and the hope, longings and emerging zest for life of the "Golden Twenties" on the other, found expression in a new type of art – one that was unsentimental, sober, specific and purist; one that described the world in an objective, realistic manner.

The Az W is participating once again in the Austria-wide "Long Night of Research", which is being held at over 280 venues across the country. In all nine federal states, you can discover things that otherwise often remains hidden, with free admission: the exciting, the surprising and the astonishing!

The "Box of Truth" is a glass container in the courtyard of Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier. It contains two chairs and a lie detector. Every "Vienna Trial" weekend will start with two public figures being attached to the lie detector and subjected to a public hearing by actor Bibiana Beglau.

Just before the sun goes down, when the shadows lengthen and the contours blur, an ecstatic time unfolds. Inspired by the light phenomenon of the golden hour, Luca Büchler uses this transgressive moment to investigate the unspecified (performance) space with biographical movement material in "after the end, before the beginning".

Shifting between labour and speculative proposals, "several attempts at braiding my way home" insists on fiction as a tool for quaking potential and finding opportunities for recovery and belonging. The performance swims with the Clymene dolphins, who defy understandings of heritage. It listens to the walruses who trust their hair for navigation.
