In June and September 2024, MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN invites music theatre collectives and artists for a residency in Vienna, Austria. Dive into a vibrant scene, foster connections, and develop your music theatre projects in a supportive environment.
MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN will be hosting two residencies (June and September 2024), as part of the EU-funded residency project What’s Next? exploring “Safe cultural multi-spaces for the multidisciplinary reflection of (post)war and (post)crisis European identity”. Each residency will be two-parted: One week in June and one week in September 2024.
The project concepts you are working on should frame one of the following topics:
- Ecological future (responsibility, human/environment, sustainability, climate crisis, et.al.)
- The decision-making human being (e.g., homo politicus, individualism vs. swarm behavior, all kinds of social, political or philosophical aspects)
