The 'LASST ALLE HOFFNUNG FAHREN! Mysterienspiele Ringelsdorf / Vienna' is a theatrical event directed by Katharina Kummer, transforming the Volkskundemuseum Wien into a symbolic ark facing the end of the world. This 'Mysterienspiel' aims to merge established art professionals with local amateurs, fostering new forms of collaborative artistic expression that are both democratic and aesthetically ambitious. It is part of the 'Through the Dark' program and the 'Miteinander Leben in autoritären Zeiten' micro-festival, presenting a vision of saving creation and celebrating life amidst division. The 'Mysterienspiele' method, developed by Katharina Kummer, involves a travelling performance that can be re-created in various locations. Central to its practice is the combination of professional artists, lay participants, and extras from diverse societal backgrounds, encouraging an exchange of maximal diverging life perspectives. The performance is designed to blur the lines between reception and production, audience and performer, creating liminal spaces outside established genres and life contexts. For this edition at the Volkskundemuseum Wien, the 'Mysterienspiele' evokes a dazzling end-time scenario, referencing civilizational collapses and positioning the museum itself as Noah's Ark.
Registration was required, and the deadline has passed for this event. It is part of a larger festival program and takes place at the Volkskundemuseum Wien, located at the Otto Wagner Areal, Pavilion 1.
