Beyond Bühne in Baden near Vienna is the place where all young people can develop their artistic talents. Beyond Bühne is committed to thinking theatre beyond traditional boundaries. The platform brings together a large number of artists, theatre makers and cultural professionals to explore new perspectives and innovative formats in the field of performing arts. The name itself is the programme: the initiative encourages people to look beyond the traditional stage and explore new ways of expression. Here, young people are taken seriously and allowed to be who they are. Live it up, is the motto! Since its foundation in 2003, Beyond Bühne has been a stage for the curious.
A central concern of "Beyond Bühne" is interdisciplinarity. Through the collaboration of artists from different disciplines - be it theatre, dance, music or visual arts - unique projects are created that transcend conventional genre boundaries. This creative networking not only promotes intercultural exchange, but also enriches the audience with a variety of new experiences.
Another characteristic of "Beyond Bühne" is its strong focus on digitalisation and the use of new technologies. The platform uses digital media and interactive elements to enhance the theatre experience and engage audiences in new ways. Online performances, digital art installations and hybrid formats that utilise both physical and virtual spaces are just a few examples of the innovative approaches taken here.
In addition to innovation in form, "Beyond Bühne" is also focussed on social issues in terms of content. The projects and productions often deal with current social and political issues and look for ways to present these topics in a way that is thought-provoking and promotes discussion. This critical examination of relevant topics is a central component of the creative work and ensures that theatre always remains a platform for social discourse.
Beyond Bühne is also committed to promoting young talent. The platform offers young artists and creatives the opportunity to develop and present their ideas to a wide audience. Workshops, scholarships and mentoring programmes not only promote the creative potential of the next generation, but also provide new impetus for the theatre landscape.
"In summary, we are a pioneering initiative that aims to shape the theatre of tomorrow. By combining interdisciplinarity, digitalisation and social engagement, we are creating a space for creative experimentation and new experiences. Our aim is to invite audiences to push the boundaries of traditional theatre and discover new forms of artistic expression. At a time when the world is changing rapidly, we offer a visionary approach to further develop the performing arts and open up new perspectives for them." Managing Director Gregor Ruttner-Vicht summarises.
#schongenial when young people are involved in thinking about the future and are encouraged to think about solutions. Awakening curiosity for the future is brilliant.
