26.07.2019 – 03.08.2019; Graz
\nUnited in diversity. La Strada, the festival for street art in Graz makes visible: there is room for everyone<\/h3>\n

Blinkers or solidarity? Benjamin Vandewalle\u2019s street performance intervention \u201cStudio Cit\u00e9\u201c, which will be part of this year\u2019s La Strada festival, is based on a simple assumption: \u201cThe way we perceive the world determines the way we think about it.\u201d In times of populist filter bubbles this is a challenge for the whole of Europe. Benjamin Vandewalle approaches this issue in a very practical way: He uses applied changes in perspectives. The Belgian artist entangles the audience in his activities. Often, all that remains is to wonder how much is possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s La Strada\u2019s goal to conquer and to open up the city. To not put up any borders, but to set out spaces.\u201d Director Werner Schrempf wants to set foot on new paths together with artists and locals, rather than take the worn-out ones we always take. People are drawn to the streets. Not only to use these as a kind of democratic participative space, but also to its art. \u201cIn fast-growing cities like Graz there are currently a lot of topics calling for creativity and for discussions about how to live in the future. We want to take up these questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s programme includes 22 productions, which explore our perception and give the inhabitants of Graz new perspectives and ways of looking at their city. Going backwards for example. Holland-based artist Johannes Bellinkx has designed an audio walk, which leads us to spaces, streets and gardens, which normally aren\u2019t open to the public. Starting in Volksgarten one walks through Graz backwards, learning a lot about one\u2019s own perception and the force of habit.<\/p>\n

When French choreographer Joanne Leighton gets to work, not only the inhabitants of Graz, but the whole city itself starts to move. Right in the middle of Stadtpark the human landscape \u201cMade in Graz\u201d is formed, which then huddles together and disappears in the ground, only to re-emerge again later.<\/p>\n

La Strada festival also offers diverse nouveau cirque: Belgian artist Danny Ronaldo performs in a tent, while Australian company Gravity & Other Myths show us circus art in a public space with their show \u201cA Simple Space\u201d. Spanish Compania Maduixa enthral the audience with a touching stilt dance. The festival\u2019s opening act, FLIP Fabrique\u2019s dynamic stage play, will take place in the opera house.<\/p>\n

For one week everything revolves around performances, interventions and installations, which quickly occupy the city\u2019s public spaces and squares. Will there still be enough space for everyone? Werner Schrempf mentions a fundamental democratic principle: \u201cAs long as there is a majority willing to share, there is enough space for everyone. I think that people are very interested in sharing. And that one has to support this.\u201d Especially nowadays.<\/p>\n
