Those who had hoped to see the program book this time were as disappointed as those who expected a common denominator in the program. Degot simply pointed out that the "program is designed as a group show". Although individual work has been explained in detail, the "Guide" will be available in print only in autumn
At the moment, the current version of the print unit, at least for journalists , was available via a data stick. On the home page are also parts of the program and participating artists visible. Apparently, he hopes to attract enough interested people because the festival pbad is also available online. This will allow the participation of all events at a price of up to 29 euros.
The opening on September 20 will be a show with puppets, from 5 pm at Europaplatz in front of the train station. The American group Bread and Puppet will lead spectators into a sort of parade through the city up to Schlossbergplatz, where there will always be shows on the way. The group will then close with the group Ljubljana, who will play their version of "Sound of Music" at Schlossberg in casemates.
The current opening location, Helmut-List-Halle, will serve as a setting for Irina Korina's exhibition "Schnee von gestern" showing inflatable landscapes. This is according to Degot "a funny mix of dreamlike nature and plastic". It is part of the core program "People & # 39; s Fronts", with the deliberately plural title, referring to different historical contexts, from anti-fascist alliances of the 1930s to extreme right wing nationalist nationalist groups.
Action in the public space This topic will be "Removing Adolf Hitler from a private area" by Yoshinori Niwa at Grazer Hauptplatz. These unwanted Nazi relics can be deposited in a container. "There will be no disclosure of the parts, they will be disposed of properly," said Degot. Another project is "The Intelligence Party" by Norwegian Lars Cuzner, who is constantly evolving.
Most of the work was commissioned by steirischer herbst, including "The Iran Conference", a play by writer and director Ivan Vyrypaev or "School Trip" by Michael Zinganel and Michael Hieslmair. The Station Theater is responsible for the project "Here I Have Never Been – A Taxi Choreography", in which taxi drivers show their pbadengers unusual places and tell their stories of life.
The musikprotokoll is still part of steirischer From October 4th to 7th. Another program is called "Ideas". This term summarizes the symposia and discussions that deal with fascism, photography or even "Conchita against Gabalier".
