New Pacts
Season 24/25
CHRONIK DER DINGE, DIE WIR NICHT VERSTEHEN
Snapshots of a city
The partner for the TiB's first pact is a network project in Graz that started in spring 2024 under the title “Das grüne Band”.
The TiB ensemble members go to specific points on this imaginary green ribbon and deal with things that they do not understand in this place.
They dance across sealed streets, go in search of childhood memories, lose themselves in the starry sky, explore a large construction site, fight their way through the bushes, deal with complex questions, are on the trail of…
HILDE
Either way, she and I
will be a guest at the Dachbodentheater in Stainz/Styria on June 21, 2025!
People react very differently when they learn that they have a life-threatening illness. Some continue to live as before, some go traveling, some become religious.

MONTAG

A musician improvises the appropriate atmosphere.
The stage is empty,…

But he is not totally in control; there are twists he cannot predict, elements are controlled by the audience, and the Egg Timer Of Death is always ticking...
GAME OF DEATH premiered in Graz in 2012, and the monthly show has been sold out ever since. Banigan has also performed the show in Vienna, London, Bristol, Toronto,…
IMPRO SHOW - Open Air in Leibnitz
Bauernmarkthalle/Marenzikeller in Leibnitz
Improvised theater is created live in front of the audience. Three actors and a musician enter the stage. The audience calls out their cue and the theater begins - unique, one-off and unrepeatable.
Cues from the audience's lives provide input for scenes, stories, songs and choreography - and a story with an unknown outcome begins.
Ideally, this is where what we expect from an actor manifests itself. Taking risks with relish, channel hopping between different forms and genres. Acting in the moment,…
