About the event
A bizarre evening of theatre at F23
It’s getting tight for three shipwrecked, hungry gentlemen on a raft in the open ocean. If one of them has to be eaten, then who? With black humour, Sławomir Mrożek’s Out at Sea unfolds a series of bizarrely convoluted arguments that mercilessly expose human weaknesses and the mechanisms of manipulation.
It’s also getting tight for two women in Thomas Bernhard’s A Doda, who make a questionable discovery by the roadside and ponder it in a highly entertaining way.
It’s getting tight for the freezing man in Franz Kafka’s The Bucket Rider, who urgently asks for coal and rides into the vastness on an empty bucket.
And it’s also getting tight for the only guest in the vastness of an empty restaurant, as well as for an old clown who had imagined the hoped-for rejuvenation differently.
Common to the plays is a penchant for the absurd and the comical, but also the loneliness of man hidden behind it. They show the narrowness that arises when one’s gaze only circles around oneself and the power of a community is lost sight of.

About Theater am Weinberg
Theatre that touches and resonates. For 30 years.
Theater am Weinberg is an ensemble that has existed since 1996, organised voluntarily as an association. People of various age groups from Perchtoldsdorf in Lower Austria and the southern Vienna area work together here both on and behind the stage.
There is no fixed playhouse – instead, new performance venues are chosen again and again to suit the respective project. The focus is on the promotion and further development of performing arts as well as the continuous training of the participants. The aim is to awaken enthusiasm for classical and modern drama, to implement innovative concepts and to help shape the regional cultural life in a lively and inspiring way with high quality standards.
Venue
Kulturankerzentrum F23
Gastgebgasse 4, 1230 Wien
The Kulturankerzentrum F23 has found a new home in the Atzgersdorf district of Liesing, behind the former coffin factory. The experimental cultural initiative F23.wir.fabriken has moved into the ground floor of a nine-storey new building in Gastgebgasse and sees itself as an open space for culture, encounters, and new ideas. At its heart is the saal.eins event hall, which can accommodate up to 120 people and offers many possibilities, from theatre and concerts to dance and performances. The programme ranges from youth theatre to pop, classical, and contemporary music, as well as workshops; productions such as “Es wird eng in der Weite” find their stage here. The guiding principle of the venue is to make art and culture accessible to everyone, with a consistent focus on social participation. F23 is easily accessible by bus lines 62A and 64A, with the Atzgersdorf, Bildungscampus stop just a few minutes' walk away.
