PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Every year ImPulsTanz presents more than 50 productions by international as well as Austrian artists and companies in an extraordinary density in the theatres and museums of Vienna.

Festival Opening with CLUB AMOUR

This year, our festival kicks off elegantly on 10 July at 19:30 with the triple bill CLUB AMOUR: Café Müller / Aatt enen tionon / herses, duo by Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch + Terrain Boris Charmatz at Burgtheater.
Few works in contemporary dance history are as groundbreaking and emotionally resonant as Café Müller, first performed in 1978 and staged around the world ever since. In CLUB AMOUR, this iconic work enters into dialogue with two early pieces by Boris Charmatz (Aatt enen tionon, herses, duo) in a bold triptych exploring love and desire. Purcell meets PJ Harvey, the subtle humour of Pina Bausch, her uniqueness and quiet radicalism, meet the unbridled nature and the sensuality of naked, entwined bodies of Charmatz’s works. A grand evening, an event!

Tickets for all performances are available online, by phone at +43 1 235 00 22, and from 8 July at the box office at Workshop Centre Arsenal.
