Julia Jost describes in her debut novel the upbringing in an archaic mountain world between the regulars' table and the confessional – and how one survives here as a misfit child and resists the prescribed order: thanks to a tender friendship and through a wild, exuberant storytelling that makes reality better than it is. Wolkenflug artistic director Ute Liepold brings the novel of the Carinthian writer to the stage as a monologue.

Heavy stuff! Just in time for the Halloween season, the champion presents ghost and horror stories: about aliens, patron saints, headless skiers, and the prophecies of the Lower Austrian seer Mostradamus. BOO!!!

In his long career as a touring rock musician, Austria's leading Freddie Mercury interpreter Austrofred has experienced quite a lot – and filled numerous successful books with it. But there are still a few stories that he has never told anyone. Out of fear that people would say, come on, now he's completely nuts, that Fred, now he's really lost it.

But eventually, everything comes to light!

All first-hand and complemented by serious fact checks and numerous do-it-yourself instructions for making (hypnotizing chickens, never being buried alive again, my own UFO landing site).

From and with: Austrofred
Stage design: Klaus Mitter

We cordially invite you to a musical book presentation!

The internationally renowned jazz musician Georg Breinschmid and Gunkl, the philosopher among cabaret artists, are coming back to our bookstore and pleasantly massaging the humor center of the brain.


"A missing piece of clothing? That must be the Roquefort. Nausea during a train journey? Truly groundbreaking. Japanese first and last names? Can only be Vornami and Tsunami."

Look forward to new puns and a surely very funny evening!

Master Class / Play by Terence McNally / Translated from American by Inge Greiffenhagen and Bettina von Leoprechting / The legendary production of the Viennese People's Theatre by Arie Zinger with Andrea Eckert

Her voice was loved, her moods were feared: Maria Callas was the undisputed queen of opera, "la Divina." But in front of her students, the enthusiasm of the diva is limited.

To meet her ruthless demands, to withstand her intrusions, is only achieved by a few. But behind the icon of the "Primadonna assoluta," Terence McNally gradually reveals the life-defining and life-destroying pressures and sacrifices that great artistry and a globally acclaimed career demand. A disturbing, but also highly amusing drama about power and abuse, about the grandeur and cruelty of art, which costs nothing less than life.

At the Viennese People's Theatre, the production directed by Arie Zinger premiered in 1997 and was played to a sold-out house for over 12 seasons. With chamber actress Andrea Eckert in the role of Callas, this successful production reached cult status and was seen by almost 170,000 visitors in nearly 170 performances. Eckert plays the character powerfully and multi-dimensionally, exploring her with all ambivalences, with light and shadow. Now she returns to the stage with this legendary production.

Manuel Rubey and Simon Schwarz both have four left hands. At least. Nevertheless, the two friends consider it a great idea to open a restaurant. Simon has already played a chef in a movie once and Manuel enjoys drinking wine. That should be enough in terms of expertise, they think. The upscale restaurant in the middle of the province is supposed to overshadow everything that has come before. In the light of day, however, it looks more like a candidate for "botched construction."
As if the restaurant burning down wasn't enough, the strong smell of arson is in the air. At least for the village policewoman, who uses the investigation with the acting stars to launch her podcast.

The search for the arsonist leads Manuel Rubey and Simon Schwarz back into the past, into their innermost selves, and to essential questions like: Aren't we all somehow small arsonists? In our friendships? In our professions? In relationships?

For the policewoman, the case is clear anyway: It was Rubey who did it, he brought the hut down warm. Because maybe murderers are always the gardeners, but arsonists are always the people from Vienna. *

The musical "Sissi - So Close as Never" offers a captivating reinterpretation of the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, revealing her deep tragedy and emotional turmoil.

Throughout her life unheard in her struggle for understanding and personal freedom, she only finds the long-desired recognition of her buried feelings in death.

In a unique constellation of characters, Sissi, Emperor Franz Joseph, and her murderer Luigi Lucheni come together.

The musical showcases the impressive resilience of a complex woman, who was far more than fate allowed her to be.

The audience experiences not only a historical story but also a tribute to the human core of a figure who is mostly seen only in her facade.

We cordially invite you to the book presentation!

HEYNi Birgit: "Read this book! You must!"

Look forward to an undoubtedly very entertaining evening!

During their grand tour of Austria, Wille Entertainment will bring the animated heroes Yakari and his friends to life. Be there live when Yakari meets his loyal friend Little Thunder for the first time.

A special feature of this unique show for the whole family, which is found only in Europe, is that not only real actors but also real horses will be part of the experience. Spirited Appaloosa ponies will portray Yakari's animal friends Little Thunder, Big Gray, and Swift Lightning.

Costumes, sets, and storyline will be designed in close collaboration with Yakari's creators André Jobin (writer) and Claude de Ribaupierre (illustrator) so that the world of the animated series can be faithfully recreated in reality.

Duration of the event: the show will last approximately 2 hours (including a 20-minute intermission)
