integratives theater österreichs, Manfred Michalke, Director | Direktor (Wien | Vienna)
Our artistic work is subordinated to a general dramaturgy:
AGAINST VIOLENCE IN ANY FORM.
This task relates to all the works mentioned above. Many scientific studies (University Vienna and also of German universities) confirm our successes. This work is a collaboration of people from different cultural backgrounds. While the view of traditional theatre texts is complemented accordingly, this form of approach is still a fact that is placed on the fringes of society. For these reasons, the Vienna Vorstadttheater is not supported either.
The basic funding comes from the individual district committees, which is of course not sufficient for a proper performance.
Bringing people together through artistic performance is not supported by authoritative political bodies, despite positive echoes from the media and the public. Even scientific analyses do not help the theatre business. We are still far, far away from peaceful coexistence and common goals – as described and demanded in many of Jura Soyfer’s works and commentaries.
