About the project

In this intergenerational project, theater enthusiasts aged 12 to 99 are invited to develop their own play with artists from the Vienna State Opera and perform it in front of an audience.

This season, the opera "Fin de Partie" by György Kurtág and the play by Samuel Beckett provide the inspiration for the joint creative process. Based on the themes, characters and music, and in relation to our own lives, we will improvise, perform, make music and experiment with different theater aesthetics, musical and narrative styles.
The focus: your creative ideas, topics that move you and your desire and courage to try something new together with the intergenerational ensemble.

The play will be performed on stage at NEST in May 2025 under the title "Free Fall" with live music.
