Trajal Harrell, Meg Stuart, Lisbeth Gruwez – this is the illustrious prelude to the performance programme of ImPulsTanz 2021: from the Akademietheater, it’s off to the Volkstheater for the long-awaited premiere of Meg Stuart / Damaged Goods’ new major work, CASCADE. As well, VIOLET (2010), one of the signature pieces by this most influential choreographer of her generation will be presented at Volkstheater – as will unforgettable [ImPulsTanz Classics] such as Maguy Marin’s Umwelt (2006 and 2009 at ImPulsTanz) and the world premiere of the new staging of Alain Platel’s Gardenia – 10 years later (2010 at ImPulsTanz), or No Paraderan by Marco Berrettini (2006 at ImPulsTanz) at the Akademietheater. An excitingly unusual version of the Goldberg Variations choreographed and danced by Michiel Vandevelde will be seen at the Odeon, and for the first time in Austria the great Maria Tembe from Mozambique will perform a solo at the Kasino am Schwarzenbergplatz. Furthermore, ImPulsTanz performances will seduce us at least to the Muth, the Leopold Museum and the mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien.
