In An Evening with, Alex Franz Zehetbauer transports us to a surreal piano bar: a singer at the piano and his repertoire punctuate the gathering of guests. Ear-worm melodies and a trickster humor keep the audience teetering between the earnest and the absurd. Traversing different moods and registers, from poetic lullaby to folk song to pop rendition, An Evening with investigates the multiple roles of songs and their cultural impacts. A certain enchantment occupies the evening as Alex creates a closeness at once strange and familiar, stretching the song into various choreographic postures.
The performance is part of the ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE 20. VIENNA ART WEEK.
From November 8 to 15, 2024, VIENNA ART WEEK will turn the spotlights on the art city Vienna for the 20th time. With this year’s theme “Facing Time”, VIENNA ART WEEK reflects on its almost 20-year history and explores the various dimensions of time.
The anniversary celebrations will kick off with a grand opening on November 8 with artistic interventions in the studio building of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (former Semperdepot). Find out more in our program.
