Wie es ist – Bipolar Feminin (music video)

„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.

LÖSS. A Weinviertel western

„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!“

Der verhängnisvolle Tod des Werner Gruber

(The Fatal Death of Werner Gruber)

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.
