LONLEY LONLEY
by
Zööt/Zeyringer





















After their absurdly humorous appearance at the 2013 imagetanz festival with their furniture assembly act Never Name the Shelf, Sööt/Zeyringer once again invite the audience to discover their unique and minimalist performance cosmos. 

In lonely lonely, they investigate the tension between desired and undesired loneliness, the need for human warmth and the simultaneous need for privacy. Using dry humour, subtle irony and cardboard boxes, the two performers create a rhythmic-choreographic dialogue on being lonesome and being together, while in the midst of minimalist and accurate execution, moments of surprise and poetry flare up.




The artist duo Tiina Sööt and Dorothea Zeyringer deals with performance at the intersection of visual arts and dance. In their works, the two artists try to find beauty, poetry, wit and absurdity in every-day objects, acts and language.

In the Cold Light of Darkness Something's Gonna Die a.k.a. Ugly piece of Shit
by
Milan Loviska


In the Cold Light of Darkness Something’s Gonna Die is an unsettling dream and the Viennese axe massacre in 17 minutes. Milan Loviška has his audience trembling with dread and fear and evokes anxiety and tension without a narrative. 

In a sheer tour de force, he interweaves horror film effects, occultism, sexually charged fantasies, surrealism and deep disturbance with the archetypical horror film characters of the serial killer or psychopath. Without spilling a single drop of (fake) blood, Milan Loviška makes the audience’s blood to freeze when he conjures up a latent visceral fantasy about removal of repression and expansion of the frontiers of reality.
Slovakian artist Milan Loviška lives in Vienna and works in the fields of dance and performance. 



He studied contemporary dance and psychology in Prague and Amsterdam and received the danceWEB scholarship of the ImPulsTanz festival in 2011. 
Milan Loviška devises his own projects in collaboration with his long-standing partner in crime, Otto Krause, and he also works with artists such as Jérôme Bel, Doris Uhlich and Deborah Hazler. www.loviska.com

HOODS
by 
Ingri Fiksdal / Signe Becker (Oslo)

“An intense and out-of-the-ordinary experience – HOODS communicates with the audience in a way I’ve never experienced before. It avoids representation and creates in collaboration with the audience a collective ceremony where you emotionally fluctuate between fascination, unease and harmony.” Ragni Vik Johnsen, Radio Nova (Oslo)



In the twilight zone between performance and installation, HOODS manifests itself as a meeting in a secret and so-far unknown universe, in which the boundaries between performer and spectator, choreography and scenography become blurred. 

In their performance Night Tripper, which took place in the summer of 2012 as part of the brut festival Up to Nature in the Vienna Woods, Ingri Fiksdal and Signe Becker already proved they have a feel for atmospheric situations and suspenseful settings beyond the traditional stage. Their new piece HOODS tackles the phenomenon of the “uncanny valley”, feelings of revulsion or unease people experience when confronted with figures that look almost human, but are inanimate. 


The audience is invited to move about freely in a performative space of moving bodies, light and sound and discover the dark corners of an atmospheric-psychedelic landscape. HOODS plays with the boundaries between the human and the non-human and disorients the senses. The performance thus unfolds to become a collective ceremony, in which the spectators experience their environment and bodies in an extraordinarily intensive way.
Ingri Fiksdal’s works largely focus on perception and affectivity, e.g. of bodies and body shapes. 

The audience is always integrated in the action to create temporary constellations and alliances between performers and spectators. Signe Becker is a freelance stage designer and visual artist. Her works include designs for classical theatre and dance productions as well as her own creations, such as installations and videos. For HOODS, the two artists received the award of the Norwegian Critics’ Association.

SONS OF SISSY
by
Simon Mayer
“This is a man we should keep in mind!” Die Presse


"SONS OF SISSY" is not part of the Festival but SIMON MAYER launched his first work at BRUT WIEN before a sold out audience - we are VERY much looking forward to his new piece!

After Falter magazine listed Simon Mayer’s solo performance SunBengSitting in its end-of-the-year review as one of the top theatre productions of 2014, describing it as an “ingenious, nakedly yodelling interplay of folk and contemporary dance”, Simon Mayer is now back on the brut stage with his new group performance Sons of Sissy

In the focus is that universe of traditions, folk dances and folk music from which the Upper Austrian country lad Simon Mayer originates. In an experimental manner, four performers and musicians make use of traditional alpine live music, various group dances and ritualised practices. 



Liberating them from conservativism and conventions, they establish an unseen fusion of artistic re-interpretations and temporary social attributions of meaning. Defying categorisation and pigeonholing, the Sons of Sissy do everything they can to live up to their name as they conduct themselves as part weird folk-music quartet, part experimentally playful ritual dance combo, using humour to radically disrupt the hackneyed male role models in old traditions.
Simon Mayer works as a performance artist, choreographer and musician and is one of the artistic directors of the Spiel art festival on the organic farm Schlossergütl in Upper Austria. Most recently, he toured numerous venues in Europe with his piece SunBengSitting

Ich sah sie das erste Mal als ich auf der Suche nach den Machern, des einen bestimmten Liedes war! Der Text gefiel mir - warum? - Du willst immer nur ficken , ficken mit mir! Gefunden wurden die Macher dann unter dem Namen Ganz Schön Feist ! Eine wunderbare Gruppe! Schnell wurde klar - das sind die absoluten Spaßkinder (natürlich schon eher die älteren Spaßkinder - aber immer noch voll dabei-im Hause high). Nach dem ersten tollen Liedchen, das ich von ihnen hörte - süchtig geworden - kam das zweite! Um mit dem letzten Post anzuschneiden - der Titel: Gänseblümchen ! Tag für Tag musste ich mir es vorsingen - Schule kann ja bekanntlich frustrierend sein und da braucht man was Tolles zum Aufbauen! Mit dem dritten Lied war ich dann total auf dem Lacher! Aphrodiasikum - superduper fi to hi! ...französischer Chanson läuft aus den Boxen, als du aufstehst und sagst: Ich muss mal KOTZEN!... Mit der Freude hört es aber gar nicht mehr auf - speziell angetan hat mich auch der Song Choreographie ,

WELLNESS

… by Florentina Holzinger and Vincent Riebeek "A inspirational performance discovering the connection of Body and Spirit by getting directions"  press play while reading: After their physically intense flirt with the canon of body and performance art of the 1970s in  Kein Applaus für Scheiße , and their passionate ode to spirituality in Spirit , the meanwhile internationally well-known duo concludes its first trilogy with the project  Wellness .  Starting points are the need for healing and the realisation of one’s own ultimate aims for well-being.  Holzinger and Riebeek  try to balance a healthy mind with a physical aesthetic inspired by beauty contests and competitions. To this aim they subject wellness treatments and measures to increase well-being, such as military-inspired CrossFit sessions, profound psychotherapy and session of meditating to a performed survey.  For the first time in their collaborative work
