Theater Vienna – But different
The Theater Nesterval is no ordinary stage. Here boundaries are crossed, conventions are broken and the audience is actively involved in the events. The productions are intense, provocative and leave a lasting impression.
They have been nominated for the Nestroy Prize for the third time. In their socially critical, often absurdly abstract pieces, they captivate the audience deeply and take you on an emotional roller coaster ride.
Discover the world of Theater Nesterval and experience theater in a whole new way. The focus here is not just on passive watching, but on actively immersing yourself in the stories that are brought to life on stage. Let yourself be surprised, challenged and inspired!
Choir Vienna – Away from the ordinary
A choir that touches hearts and enchants ears – that is the Schmusechor. They are colorful, they are queer, they are very talented. With their unconventional repertoire and their rousing performance, they have conquered a permanent place in the Viennese cultural scene.
The choir's 50-strong troupe also takes a clear stance against sexism and racism and that goes without saying, as do extravagant outfits, stage performances and lipstick - for everyone!
Experience the magic of the cuddly choir live at one of their fascinating concerts. From well-known classics to newly interpreted hits – there is something here for every musical taste. Feel the energy and passion that this choir brings to the stage and let their music seduce and move you.
Cultural Association Vienna – A center of inspiration
The Sargfabrik is more than just a cultural center - it is a place of encounter, creativity and diversity. Concerts, theater performances, exhibitions and workshops take place here regularly, bringing people from all corners of the world together. A lively, urban housing project with a cultural-political approach emerged from a social experiment. The non-profit association has created a piece of the city's anticipated future in Vienna's 14th district. A vibrant community comes to life here, including a children's house, a cultural center, a seminar house, a bathhouse, a café-restaurant, a playground and a roof garden.
Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the coffin factory and discover the variety of cultural events. From jazz concerts to experimental theater, from interactive exhibitions to panel discussions, you'll definitely get your money's worth culturally at this place. Feel the pulse of the city and experience Vienna from its creative side.
Insider tip: Try the on-site restaurant too! Regional organic food is processed into delicious dishes here and sustainability is very important here. As a socio-economic company, they offer people over the age of 50 a temporary job in order to increase their professional know-how and thus their chances on the job market. Art, cuisine and social impact combined!
Vienna Culture - Inspiring, interactive and lively
A place of art, culture and encounters – that is the Brunnenpassage. This is where people from different origins and backgrounds come together to create art together and exchange ideas.
The artistic focus is on transcultural, transdisciplinary, multilingual, multi-perspective and intergenerational formats and productions. Artistic quality and socio-political goals are combined to create new collective spaces for a heterogeneous audience and enable new aesthetic experiences.
Visit one of the exhibitions, performances or workshops in the Brunnenpassage and immerse yourself in the world of creative artists. Here you will find inspiration, exchange and a lively atmosphere that will carry you away.
Art Studio – A creative place with a multicultural flair
The Common Room is more than just a bar - it is a meeting place for people from all over the world who want to meet, exchange ideas and get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere.
Visit the Common Room for an evening of live music, poetry slams or film screenings. Here you can make new friends, have interesting conversations and experience the multicultural flair of Vienna up close.
Insider tip: Visit the “drink and draw” workshop: you will paint together under supervision over a glass of wine and then you can take your beautiful piece of art home with you! All levels are welcome – just have fun and discover your inner artist.
