In this year’s festival trailer the protagonist blossoms—with plenty of DIY charm—from a home-alone movie nerd to a discoverer of lost worlds behind the ice(box). Where coldness and isolation give way to acceptance, she finds herself embraced by a monstrous community and watches the vast cosmos of SLASH bloom—a world that celebrates difference. Fleischwolf Kollektiv lovingly continues the trailer’s formal and concrete allusions to the garishly funny horror cinema of the 1980s with its sets, special effects, stop motion, and 3D animation. A midnight snack that’ll leave you hungry for more!

Feature Film – Body Horror
Aspiring theater enthusiast Mia starts her new job as assistant director of the infamous director Niklas Senseberg. What begins as a shocking initiation into his perfidious methods spirals into a nightmarish descent, as Mia’s body and mind begin to unravel. As rehearsals progress, her escalating deterioration leaves her at the mercy of a relentless institution. Opening night looms and the (body)horror escalates, building toward a gruesome crescendo.
“Kill Your Darlings” won the SLASH Campfire Tales 2024 and currently continues the development with Capra Film Productions.

A small town suburb in Germany – Stefan grows up in this idyll of terraced houses. Between family strife and everyday school life, a third factor determines the young person’s life. His parents joined a free Christian community and it relies on a direct line to Jesus. No ritual pomp or dignitaries are allowed to come between the Savior and his sheep. The sheltered community has grown over the years. Who wouldn’t want to have the Savior himself as their best friend? But this friendship doesn’t come for free. The members must bear witness to each other about their lifestyle, their dreams, their desires. Anyone who disappoints Jesus is in danger of falling deeply. And Stefan has to fear that this is exactly what will happen to him. Because he dreams of the theater and he desires men, which neither the Messiah nor his community likes.
Author Steffen Link was an ensemble member at the Schauspielhaus Vienna until 2019. In his debut piece he tells of the exclusionary embrace of a community and of liberation. What starts out like stand-up comedy turns into a visually rich trip over the abyss. After working in Münster, Heidelberg and Berlin, director Theresa Thomasberger is now directing the film in her home city of Vienna for the first time.

Five lava lamps in a terrarium. Always kept in an artificial flow, they talk about afterlife as a solidified mass of rock, remember prominent predecessors such as the lava flow from Pompeii and reflect on their forced immortality in the self-contained lava lamp system.
A theatrical installation for five lava lamps that is in no way inferior to a Greek tragedy.

„More subtle in both music and lyrics, less rough, this new single is the best example of [Bipolar Feminin’s] development. Between anger and love, the fragility of society as well as relationships, is discussed. And the strength and security that joining forces with others can provide.“
The Gap about „Wie es ist“
The music video for „Wie es ist“ by Bipolar Feminin was shot as a one-shot video in the completely darkened club location „Einbaumöbel“ in Vienna using an infrared camera and motion control.
We follow a protagonist as she enters; she seems alone, lost, before she takes a running start and lands with a courageous jump in the middle of a group of three. The camera starts moving and in a slow panoramic rotation we discover that the darkness belongs to a community. The low-light room turns the protagonists into a close-knit community, familiar with each other and the darkness around them, though the band itself becomes the final figure of light. Security transforms the „fragile system“ into the possibility of completely letting yourself go in this space, a rebellious act in itself.

„This might not be the best theatrical production of the summer, but it’s definitely the weirdest.“
Martin Thomas Pesl, Falter (31/2022)
„You don’t have to live in Großriedenthal to love „LÖSS“. But it doesn’t hurt.“
Dominik Perlaki
Löss is a yellowish to ocher colored sediment. In 2021, Löss was awarded as soil of the year. „LÖSS“ is also a hyper-regional Weinviertel western, a meta-level mindfuck multimedia performance for a village in Lösstal (AT)
The fantastic ensemble around Johanna Hainz (the Bode), Rina Juniku (the cave priest) and Martin Hemmer (the lonesome stranger) tells an imaginative story of a fertile soil sediment „Löss“, which is characteristic of the area, the wine and the people of Großriedenthal. LÖSS also tells of rock migration, disappeared men and legendary figures. The team around Klara Rabl embarks on the search for the regional essence and on their imaginative journey does not shy away from any risky substantive or aesthetic twist. The hypermedia Western Film Theater Piece adds a unique twist to the site specific performance.
The result is a completely new, varied local saga that, among other things, reveals the secret of the attraction of the Loesshof and finally gives the “Soil of the Year” the opportunity to deliver its long overdue award acceptance speech.
„The wondrous, dreamlike in two senses, psychedelic-regional rock summer comedy LOESS by Klara Rabl! Go see this piece you gringos and outlaws and earthworms!“

Where do all the men who „just pop out for cigarettes“ and then never return actually disappear to? In a claustrophobic, dystopian production, Klara Rabl and Marc Carnal create a secret, subterranean realm where all these world-weary types live out their lonely existences until the end of their days, enjoying the freedom of imprisonment. „The Cigarette Kingdom“ tells the story of Frieda Polak, who accidentally enters this gloomy refuge and turns its inhabitants‘ worldview upside down.
The play by director Klara Rabl and writer Marc Carnal is based — with kind permission — on an idea by Clemens Setz. „The Cigarette Kingdom“ satirizes the promises of escapist male lives with the seemingly absurd idea of an underworld for failures—complete with evening gymnastics, the true story of Diddl the Mouse, and hauntingly beautiful musical numbers.

„Director Klara Rabl lets the magnificent four-member ensemble glide into increasingly bizarre situations without much theatrical fuss, and after everything has been said and the daily prescribed evening gymnastics have been completed, the dream finally seems to come to an end.“
Angela Heide, Wiener Zeitung (27.4.2022)
„All the events are presented in a way that they are to be taken seriously even if they are completely crazy. The acting is also never over the top. With the sets by Sophie Tautorus, director Klara Rabl manages to create an intimate production which is indeed at times humorous but also thought-provoking as it questions whether an underground world of this kind is better than real life.“

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the premiere of Feed the Troll had to be postponed twice and finally the enthusiastic team around Klara Rabl decided to change the theatre piece (which was already staged and rehearsed) into a one shot stage movie. With a new partner for co-production (Austrian Community TV channel OKTO) and in cooperation with our longtime partner WERK X-Petersplatz „Feed the Troll finally premiered on television April 21st 2021.
You can still watch the movie followed by an interview of writer director Klara Rabl and Cornelia Anhaus (WERK X-Petersplatz) by Mascha Mölkner. (German, no subtitles) -> Oktothek:
To understand the evening as a filmed discourse theater, as a negotiation and negotiation over the Internet, falls short, it is too much fun in the matter. At gigabyte speed, the puns fly around your ears (…) „Feed the Troll“, what a splendid digital (self) production!
Michaela Mottinger, mottingers-meinung.at (April 22nd 2021)
The combative announcement of the trio (Sonja Kreibich, Aline-Sarah Kunisch, Anna-Eva Köck) is a fun fantasy in which everyone is talking about head and neck in front of the camera.Margarete Affenzeller, DER STANDARD (April 21st 2021)
Net phenomena from rickrolling to memes are explained, trolls from the legendary standard forum are challenged with the help of feminist bots, and saint Ada Lovelace, inventor of the code, receives homage sent up to her cloud. Disco dance to playback and, to top it off, an exuberant music video for „Heaven Is a Place on Earth“ crowns the ironic tone.
Martin Pesl, Falter (17/2021)
A traditionally conceived theater production turned into a one-shot film in the course of a complete conceptual and partly also textual revision – and thanks to the extremely creative incorporation of digital stylistic devices. This is much more elaborate and lively than most of the other online theater streams that we became so familiar with in the pandemic year. The camera is part of the action, the fourth wall is absent, and so the audience has the feeling of standing in the middle of the stage designed by Sophie Tautorus in a darkly dystopian way.

Seestadt-Saga is a walk-in immersive-theatrical social media series produced by Schauspielhaus Wien. Over two seasons we follow the social media channels of various protagonists whose common ground is their place of residence – Seestadt Aspern. The events of a week were summarized in a filmic recap video and the storylines were further developed live by authors in the Writers Room of the Schauspielhaus Vienna. This resulted in an interactive theater experience penned by Bernhard Studlar, Lorenz Langenegger and Tomas Schweigen, by a multimedia team made up of filmmakers, actors and residents of Seestadt, directed by Tomas Schweigen, Klara Rabl and Ivna Zic.
The internet was once a civilization promise of equality and respect. Today it is dominated by fake news, filter bubbles and hate speech. „Feed The Troll“ puts an overdue end to digital infamy. In this hypermedial battle piece directed by Klara Rabl, the performers Sonja Kreibich, Karoline Kucera and Aline Kunisch deconstruct and reconstruct the Internet utopia and reveal an insane cyber-feminist intervention the all female team has been working on for the past year that, in addition to troll armies and hate posters, also defeats patriarchy.
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the theater.
We are rebuilding our digital utopia. We are reclaiming digital public space from trolls and haters. As Digital Natives we are disappointed by the promised virtual space of free speech and democratic ideals. You never had the right to claim this space. We are furious. We will tear down your echo chambers. As ‚Feed the Troll‘ we are starting our movement. We have a plan, we have a weapon.

A science fiction satire about a Lower Austrian governor from the future, a witty telephone astrologer and TV physicist Werner Gruber. 2082: Governor Johann Schranz fears for the absolute majority of the Conservative Party in Lower Austria. His big rival continues to win in the polls. Schranz wants to prevent an election defeat at all costs and has a perfidious idea: He travels back to the year 2018 to kill the mother of his future social democratic adversary and thus prevent his birth.
Telephone astrologer Silvia Stasny is shocked when one afternoon she receives a visit from the future governor who wants to shoot her in cold blood. But Silvia succeeds in playing for time and engaging him in a conversation about desserts, the commuter package in the asteroid belt, rapeseed fields on Mars and dirty election campaign methods. Until suddenly TV physicist Werner Gruber shows up and the story takes a fateful turn … The piece written by Marc Carnal, directed by Klara Rabl, combines the intimate atmosphere of a radio play with rapid stage action. Dolores Winkler, Reinhold G. Moritz and Benjamin Vanyek not only lend their voices to numerous characters, but also generate all the sounds themselves in an experimental manner and a vast amount of acoustic props.
The fateful death of Werner Gruber is a detailed acoustic chamber game with a subtle wit that covers a wide range of topics ranging from national politics, astrology and pseudoscience to online dating, thereby creating a provincial dystopia caricaturing political wickedness in rural politics.

Based on the sensing of an acute global fear of adapting to new cultures and customs, Klara Rabl and Marc Carnal created an immersive performance for children andaudience of all ages. By staging the narrative of a recently discovered new species of the animal kingdom – which has adapted perfectly to our postdigital and urban human lifestyle – they approach the topic of becoming acquainted with new cultures and behaviours from a comic and light perspective.
Watch two middle aged City Bears in their natural habitat (a traditional loft apartment), observe their almost humanlike behaviour, interact and learn about the species and how to get along with local City Bears in your own city.
Our zookeeper is very happy to share information about City Bear lifestyle, behaviour, interaction with bears and the history of the Viennese City Bear Society.
If you are lucky you can join us for the feeding slot and will have the chance to interact and bond with the city bears through feeding rituals. You can become a city bear patron and join on our occasional walks on which we will train the city bears and you can introduce your urban life to them.
Join the Club! It’s fun!
Bears with humanlike behaviour have been covered as a topic in many stories such as The Bear Who Wasn’t and The Bear Went Over the Mountain these stories have been the inspiration for creating bear characters in this performance. In order to establish understanding between the seemingly strange bears and the audience, a guide and zookeeper interacts with both sides and is the gamechanger of this performance that in itself questions the superiority of human culture and race alike.

When my grandmother passed away in 2009, her and my grandfathers’ austrian farmhouse remained empty for a couple of months. Well, actually not empty but inhabited by their things, their narrative. So my grieving 18-year-old self decided to visit with my mother and my camera. I wanted to make a movie about my mother telling stories from her childhood, but when we entered the house, the remains of my grandparent’s life started telling their own stories. I recorded that. Not mine or my families but their lives’ traces. When people leave, their private objects develop a mystic space much like a vacuum. I am seeking for meaningful places to rebuild my grandparents’ house through video installation. I want to put their story in a Good Place.
