No more events

Description

In cooperation with the Klimt Foundation's "Second International Gustav Klimt Symposium", the latest findings from Klimt research will be presented, including a focus on the women portrayed by Gustav Klimt mentioned above. In addition to on-site participation, the lectures can also be streamed live.

A dance performance will take place on the evening of 23 March, which will also be the vernissage of an exhibition of valuable original artworks. Grete Wiesenthal's special Viennese dance style, which caused a furore in the young independent scene before the First World War, is the patron of the piece "Glückselig. Was yesterday, wasn't it? An appropriation". The artistic director Andrea Amort and Katharina Senk are now presenting a format that oscillates between conversation and dance, adapted to the intimate ambience of Villa Toscana in Gmunden, from the programme that was originally performed by four female choreographers at Vienna's Theater brut in 2023.

In the dance footsteps of Grete Wiesenthal (Vienna 1885 - Vienna 1970)

A dance performance will take place on the evening of March 23, which will also be the vernissage of an exhibition of valuable original artworks. Grete Wiesenthal’s special Viennese dance style, which caused a furor in the young independent scene before World War I, is the patron of the piece “Glückselig. Was Yesterday, Wasn’t It? An appropriation.” From the program originally performed by four female choreographers, which came out in 2023 at the Theater brut in Vienna, artistic director Andrea Amort, together with Katharina Senk, now presents a format adapted to the intimate ambience of the Villa Toscana in Gmunden, oscillating between conversation and dance.
