The Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch + Terrain Boris Charmatz open the festival with two productions: Love and desire await the audience in CLUB AMOUR. Café Müller / Aatt enen tionon / herses, duo. This Austrian premiere combines two works by Boris Charmatz with Bausch’s iconic Café Müller from 1978. Meanwhile, in the masterpiece Nelken, the same company explores love and being loved amidst a sea of pink flowers.

As part of Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna, three productions created in collaboration with ImPulsTanz will be presented: French choreographer Mathilde Monnier and the Dance On Ensemble explore a deeply personal journey into the world of Johann Strauss in the world premiere of MUSIQUE – In the Spirit of Johann Strauss, set to piano music by composer Judit Varga. Meanwhile, choreographer Eva-Maria Schaller and composer Wolfgang Mitterer dive into a joyous apocalypse in Walzerwut. Finally, Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, together with dancers from Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève and the Wiener Kammerorchester, reimagines the historical ballroom in the Austrian premiere of Imperial Ball.
