Artistic directors herald a new era
A new era will begin at Tanzquartier Wien from the 2025/26 season. Effective 1 July, Isabel Lewis and Rio Rutzinger will jointly take over the artistic direction, while Gerda Saiko will handle the commercial management. Their programme will embody courage, openness, and poetic complexity. Beginning on 15 September, you will not only have the opportunity to watch dance and performance but also to actively participate in numerous workshops as part of our expanded offerings.
“For us, dance and performance are at the centre of contemporary art. Join us to explore how they open up new ways of working together: sensual, immediate, and surprising. Our program features a range of works, from meticulously composed pieces to the raw charm of early artistic attempts. What unites us is a desire for diversity, the unfinished, and the unpredictable. We envision this as a wild garden – lively, resilient, and open to everything that wishes to unfold. Come in, discover it, grow within it, and help shape it!” – Isabel Lewis & Rio Rutzinger
The programme for the new season will be presented on 10 September 2025.
