Are you new to Vienna or studying? This format is aimed at young students, especially from the fields of theatre, music, cultural and media studies.

The both music theatre collectives selected in 2024 develop their current projects on the subject of sustainability and ecology for premieres in 2025 (Plankton in Zurich, Turtle in Salzburg)
Plankton
direction and music: Léo Collin
Concept, direction and stage design: Kapitolina Tsvetkova
This music theatre performance explores the relationship between humans and nature, isolation and globalisation as well as the real and the imaginary. The starting point is anthropological studies by Nastassja Martin and Charles Stepanoff and behavioral patterns of plankton that produce bioluminescent light to protect themselves from predators.
Oblivia – Turn Turtle Turn 2 - the reality bang
Concept, devising, dramaturgy, texts: Oblivia
On stage, performance, voice and song: Timo Fredriksson (FI), Anna-Maija Terävä (D), Annika Tudeer (FI), Juha Valkeapää (FI). Percussion: Nagisa Shibata (JP/F))
Composer, live electronic: Yiran Zhao (CN/DE)
Outside eye: Alice Ferl (DE)
Light design, video design: Meri Ekola (B)
Costume design: Tua Helve (FI)
Production: Oblivia / Jenny Nordlund. Communication: Nassrah Denif (D)
In Turn Turtle Turn 2 - the reality bang, we look at the emotional landscapes behind today's precarious situation of climate change and political backlash. Focus is on emotions like loss, nostalgia, and catastrophe euphoria. Oblivia thinks that these emotions are crucial to understand in order for change for the better to happen. The performance explores with humour and lightness the effects of a change of the Anthropocene worldview that is based on the human perspective and looks at how it could be dissolved and reinterpreted.
