Schauspielhaus Wien

Vienna

Austria

Since 2023–24, The Schauspielhaus Wien has been led by a four-person team of creative directors: Marie Bues, Martina Grohmann, Tobias Herzberg, and Mazlum Nergiz. Its central focus is to make politically emancipatory theatre—inclusive, feminist, antiracist, and environmentally conscious. With the Offenes^Haus (‘open house’) a platform for exchange and co-creation was established. From September to December 2025, its activities will be directed towards heimaten, as part of the festival and network of the same name. The focus will be Amir Gudarzi’s major novel on contemporary Viennese life Das Ende ist nah (The End Is Near, 2023), in a multilingual stage adaptation performed in German, Farsi, and Arabic. The production will be accompanied by participatory formats that open up new perspectives, deconstruct barriers, and make theatre accessible for all.
