01 Discover: Glaubenskirche Simmering
On Sunday, October 19th, the festival will make its debut in Vienna’s 11th district. At Glaubenskirche Simmering – a gem of modernist church architecture designed by Austrian architect Roland Rainer – a special programme will be presented.

Acclaimed performance artist Alex Franz Zehetbauer presents a playful improvisation of songs – combining voice, hydrophones, piano, organ, harmonium, and lyre. Splashing into avant-garde pop, Sanna Lu Una evokes a space of deep emotion.

With Angelo Beltrame on cello, cinematic sound,s and dream-like vocals, her songs explore existential questions wrapped in fantastic imagery.

Natasha Moreno shapes melancholic, noisy soundscapes with modular synths and psychoacoustic repetition, translating her synaesthetic perception of science into conceptual art.

02 Immersive: Sara Persico & Mika Oki pres. „Sphaîra“
On Friday, October 24th, WUK / Grosser Saal will host the Austrian premiere of Sara Persico & Mika Oki’s immersive audiovisual spectacle Sphaîra. Together, Sara Persico & Mika Oki embark on an audiovisual collaboration inspired by Persico’s album, with field recordings from the experimental concrete theatre in Tripoli, Lebanon, designed by Oscar Niemeyer. „Sphaîra“ combines dense light scenography and sound storytelling, transporting the audience inside the structure itself. This immersive performance blurs the line between external stimuli and inner perception – a unique exploration of light, form and consciousness. (In cooperation with Lunchmeat Festival)
