Discovering Contemporary Performance at SZENE Salzburg During Sommerszene
SZENE Salzburg recently welcomed an international delegation of journalists for a special press trip organised by Austria Tourism. Representatives from the United States, Japan, South Korea, China, Thailand, and Romania gathered at the contemporary performing-arts venue to experience the distinctive atmosphere of the annual Sommerszene festival firsthand.
What Visitors Experience Behind the Scenes
For those planning to explore local performing arts, visits to this vibrant cultural hub offer unique insights into how modern dance and interdisciplinary productions come together. The recent press delegation began their tour with an exclusive look behind the curtains of the main stage, which was specially reconfigured for Jan Martens’ production THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER 2.0.
Following the backstage introduction, attendees experienced contemporary choreography live across different spaces, including Rosana Ribeiro’s Break the Dam and Deva Schubert’s missed tones (in the corridor). These works highlight the venue's ongoing commitment to pushing creative boundaries through dance, theater, performance, and music.
