CLASSICS

The festival brings unforgettable productions and audience favourites back to the stage. From groundbreaking pieces that helped shape new movements in Contemporary Dance – such as Jérôme Bel’s Jérôme Bel or DD Dorvillier’s No Change, or “freedom is a psycho-kinetic Skill” (2005) – to more recent works that have already achieved cult status, like Dada Masilo’s Swan Lake or Ivo Dimchev’s Selfie Concert.

In 2025, we look forward to two classics from the Austrian scene: deep dish by Liquid Loft/Chris Haring (2014) and Beyond The Overflow by Elisabeth Bakambamba Tambwe / Dig Up Productions (2023). The timeless theme of excess – and its oscillation between sensual delight and hellish potential – preoccupies both artists and their collaborators, who each invite us to explore this thrilling balancing act in an entertaining and highly topical way. And one more classic from France: Boris Charmatz’s Aatt enen tionon will be performed on the Burgtheater stage as part of CLUB AMOUR.
