and wenn
es soweit ist
Ganymed goes Europe opens up new perspectives on old masters of the
Kunsthistorische Museum Vienna. The Austrian theatre group WENN ES
SOWEIT IST invites fourteen Hungarian and international authors to
compose a literary text on a masterpiece from the museum’s
collection that inspires them.
Jacqueline Kornmüller and Peter Wolf stage these texts with
the
aid of sixteen actors and actresses, thereby bringing the paintings
– and reflection on them – to life. Walking through
the
museum, the visitors become part of the theatrical setting and decide
by themselves how long they stay on a particular stage. On each of the
six evenings the fourteen pieces are performed simultaneously and
repeatedly.
