A tour through eight temporary individual works by MA Applied Theatre students on the theme of theatricality and the theatricalization of places and spaces.

The Applied Theatre students are showing try-outs of their work in the module "On Representation - Who cares, who speaks?". Together with co-researchers, accomplices and so-called experts of everyday life, they try to find out which untold stories should be given a stage.

MEGA:STAGE salzburg is a project of the Applied Theatre - artistic theatre practice & society programme, which illuminates the festival city of Salzburg from a new perspective and gives a new dimension to one of the original ideas of the festival, that of the "city as stage".

The students of the master's program Applied Theater at the Thomas Bernhard Institute, together with Ulrike Hatzer and Trace Müller, deal with Salzburg's "shadow stories" and with the forced labor camp in Maxglan/Leopoldskroner Moos in a participatory documentary theater project. Whether, when and why are painful pasts and shadow stories remembered?

The Applied Theatre project digs for stories hidden in the Rainberg. By overlaying the different uses in different periods of time, contrasts but also commonalities become visible: "Dance until we die" examines how temporary communities function, according to which criteria they are created, which rules they are subject to.

Installative, performative and interactive work at various locations in Salzburg, as part of the Salzburg Summer Scene: If the practices of today are the basis for the life of tomorrow, we should definitely scrutinise our everyday actions. To do this, we should create room for manoeuvre where we live - in Salzburg. We are a group of five individuals who come from different places, with different ages, experiences and languages.

Utopias to go on:A travelling parcours in the performative border area between procession, installation and intervention leads the audience of the summer scene into the public space. In this walk through the city, a possible constructive and feminist future for Salzburg is developed together.

"SPERRIG" revolves around questions of isolation in prisons, accessibility to the justice system, alternative forms of justice delivery and the rapprochement of victims and perpetrators of violence.

A woman and her istrument share their performative expolrations ans examine the possibilities of lament. What can they archieve, given that every sound refracts the sctructural suffering of an inhuman border regime? Do we find something like hope ans even resistance in musical action?

You know who nobody wants to work with right now? With white old men. We've stepped out of comfort zones, questioned images of masculinity and dissected vulnerabilities, owned wide leather chairs, discussed talk shows, speech share, mansplaining, manspreading and clichés in them. And ... how do white old men actually smell? A collage-like scenic work about the attempt at a dialogue - Master's project from the Applied Theatre degree course.

The play deals with transgenerational remembering in the form of collected stories of the ((great-)grand-))parents and the confrontation with what they have experienced. The idea is to be able to influence future events by dealing with the past.

How much time do we give life in life? Pelican or raven? How much role modeling can we tolerate? Where do we put our anger? Do you wash your hands often enough? And do you like to eat bread? Yes, and who actually asks mum? Lievito Madre invites you to take time to listen, ask yourself questions and take a closer look at the roles of mothers.

Jonas Baur, Master's student Applied Theatre invites all men (all bodies, queer-friendly, trans* inclusive) to come together to seek and find answers to what it can mean to make masculinity diverse and caring. The invitation is open to anyone who is curious, interested in sharing about gender roles, wants to see themselves as men in their own way, or wants to prevent discrimination.

How do we change perspectives when things and people become strangers to us? The performance OUBLIEZ - WHO(N) WE FORGET focuses on the 'in-between spaces' where communication takes place - between those affected, care staff and relatives - and tries to capture what happens to people who "disappear without being lost".

Pleasure Space is a tactile installation and theatrical play on sexuality education. Anna Szepes' master project in MA Applied Theatre aims to create safe and playful performative spaces for intergenerational exchange and creative knowledge production around sexuality. In Pleasure Space we use research, interviews, play design, writing, somatic exercises and sound to realise a correspondence between adults and teenagers that is now open to you.

Could Dionysus be a queer trans* deity? What if their companions simply do not conform to any norm and are not mad at all? Cat Jugravu's performance DIONYSOS. MADNESS POURS UPON MY LOVELY FACE invites us to reinterpret the myth as a manifesto for otherness and queerness. With the Maenads - the dissident entourage of Dyonisos - the audience tries to approach a life without the norm in ritual, dance and rave.
