The acrobats of the Australian company Gravity &amp; Other Myths playfully conquer the city, divert the viewer\u2019s gaze, and allow them to rediscover the urban space. Featuring two performers, a violinist and a seemingly endless array of costumes, \u201cPan\/Catwalk\u201d by Dutch artist collective Zwermers pays homage to the colorful and eclectic human nature. Together they transform the main square in Graz into the \u201cEntrada al parad\u00eds\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French company Ex Nihilo focuses on everyday challenges in our urban spaces: Amidst old car tires, ropes and cheap plastic chairs, the dancers create their very own world in the performance \u201cIn-Paradise\u201d in interaction with the urban architecture. A temporary \u201cparadise\u201d created through the search for balance and breaking out of everyday life. The nomadic use of the places is a fleeting and gentle borrowing that never excludes others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collective Navaridas \u00b0 Deutinger \u00b0 Wolf takes the audience to a very concrete and obvious paradise \u2013 in a piece of forest in Kalkleiten \u2013 and opens their eyes to what is so easy to overlook because it was always there. The choreographers Martha Navaridas and Alex Deutinger have teamed up with the visual artist Bernhard Wolf to get out of everyday life together with a group of people \u2013 night after night. \u201cBed &amp; Breakfast in the Forest\u201d is the prelude to a series of artistic works in rural Styrian regions that deal with questions and challenges in times of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what happens when our world, our little paradise, goes under? \u201cDimanche\u201d, a play by the Focus &amp; Chaliwat\u00e9der troupe, paints a witty and tender portrait of humanity surprised by the uncontrollable forces of nature: a small family tries to maintain a sense of normality despite the chaos on a Sunday together, while outside three traveling reporters do their best to document the ecological apocalypse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When one door closes, another one opens, they say. In \u201cExit\u201d by Belgian choreographer Piet van Dycke, four acrobats move in a combination of dance, slapstick and balancing art with seemingly effortless ease in an installation of rotating walls and swinging doors. The performance tells of playing with power and the realization that every exit is also an entrance.<strong>LA STRADA<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Various locations, Graz \/ Steiermark<br>28.07. \u2013 05.08.2023<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lastrada.at\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.lastrada.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>28.7. \u2013 5.8.2023 PARADISE LOST &amp; FOUND The street arts festival La Strada is looking for paradise Paradise is just around the corner: the street art festival La Strada discovers the better life in the small encounters of everyday life.
