steirischer herbst gave a detailed overview of this year's program in Graz on Tuesday. The core of the festival, which is directed for the first time by Ekaterina Degot is called "Volksfronten" and is a mix of installations, performances and discursive works. He opens with a doll parade through the city and a musical diploma on Schloßberg.

Those who had hoped to see the program book this time were disappointed, as well as those who were expecting a common denominator in the program. Degot simply pointed out that the "program is designed as a group show". Although the individual works have been explained in detail, the "Guide" will only be available in printed form in the autumn. At the moment, there was the current version of the print unit, at least for reporters via a stick of data. 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.

Opening

The opening on September 20 will be a puppet show from 5 pm on Europaplatz in front of the train station. The American group Bread and Puppet will take viewers into a sort of parade through the city up to Schloßbergplatz, where there will always be shows on the way. The final will be the group Ljubljana, who will perform his version of "Sound of Music" on the Schlossberg in the casemates.

The current opening location, Helmut-List-Halle, will be part of Irina Korinas ] Exhibition "Snow of Yesterday" 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 title, deliberately plural, referring to different historical contexts, from antifascist alliances of the 1930s to right-wing nationalist groups in the United States. An action in the public space on this subject will be "Adolf Hitler's Withdrawal 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 the Norwegian Lars Cuzner in constant evolution

Play

Most of the works were commissioned by steirischer herbst, including "The Iran Conference", a play of the author and the director Ivan Vyrypaev or the installation "School trip" of Michael Zinganel and Michael Hieslmair . The theater of the station 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 lives. musikprotokoll ] is still part of steirischer herbst and will take place from October 4th to 7th. Another program is called "Ideas". This term summarizes symposia and discussions dealing with fascism, photography or even "Conchita against Gabalier".
