Houses remain closed, losses increase, daily life becomes monotonous, only Internet culture is booming. Suggestions for a day of virtual culture with the websites of local institutions.
Augmented Reality: flying visit to the Albertina
Start the day with art, that sounds good. Thus begins the virtual cultural marathon at the Albertina. A blinking Dürer rabbit, dancing insects by Joan Miró or a virtual excursion to Monet’s garden in Giverny: the Albertina app is bringing 13 images from its collection to life with the “Artivive” app. 225,000 works can be admired in the company’s online catalog, but a tour of the museum does not replace navigation. With augmented reality, the house now offers culture lovers who are forced to sit on the sofa a very special additional artistic experience, provided they have a computer and a smartphone or a color printer and a smartphone. After all, when looking at all 13 works, the cell phone camera must be pointed at them for the fun to begin.
Once the viewer has recognized the image, the (brief) pleasure begins: you can see Alexej von Jawlensky’s “girl in a flower hat” in his (animated) creation, while a voiceover explains the background information of the painting, which was made in 1910. Marc Chagall’s “The Paper Kite” (1926) presents a completely different experience, as the app expands the details of the individual images, which are also described in more detail. Eventually, “Two Dancers” by Edgar Degas moved, of which not only did a pencil sketch of the image from around 1905 appear, but also the fascination of the artist’s ballet was underlined with animated Elevinnen. Paul Delvaux’s “Landscape with Lanterns” (1958) explores what it looks like when painted people suddenly walk down a street.
Conclusion: Augmented Reality is not a substitute for a visit to a museum, it also requires some concentration to place the cell phone with a firm hand in front of the screen, the Albertina always offers entertaining artistic entertainment with the tool.
Between “bat” and “magic flute”
Pack pens and notebooks, you’re in the theater now, at least virtually. The colorful range from the jungle of Vienna to the Theater der Jugend or the Rabenhof also includes the Theater an der Wien. But be careful: the offer is almost the opposite of sprinkling kids as parents stand up (or work in the home office). Active participation is required here.
On the Theater an der Wien website, you will find not only a 90-minute recording (luckily shot from a child’s perspective) of the interactive production “Papagena Chasing the Bat” for 2019, but also a wealth of theatrical educational material . Before entering the theater auditorium or behind the scenes, you can play: in addition to a mobile “chick”, you can also make a magic paper theater around the opera “Zauberflöte” by Mozart and the operetta “Fledermaus” by Johann Strauss. In addition to the printable templates, all you need are scissors, glue, colors, and threads. And, urgently needed, a little skill.
The supplied YouTube playlist matches the “Magic Flute”, which features excerpts from Torsten Fischer’s production of the “Magic Flute” 2017. If you don’t have enough, you can make all kinds of masks. Once children are caught in the world between “Magic Flute” and “Bat”, it is important to sing to themselves: so that you can download an audio file from the website for which the emerging singer begins an aria verse ” Bird Catcher “by Papageno can. That was not all the material offered, but there is currently enough time to continue the virtual visit to the Theater an der Wien in the coming days.
Take a deep breath with Voodoo Jürgens, Kurt Palm and Yasmoy
To a concert in the middle of the day? To the cabaret? Or for a read? Why not? Throughout the day you can access video appearances by local artists, which were produced in high quality in cooperation with W24 at the Rabenhof Theater.
How the Viennese singer Voodoo Jürgens performs his show in front of an empty auditorium is not just a pleasure to listen to, and it makes everyone smile. Also to be seen this week: Kurt Palm (in the “Short End” T-shirt) with a multi-part reading of his novel “Monster”, FM4 award winners Anger or Wolfgang Ambros (in a “Pest” section) Reading.) Highlight: Viennese rapper and slam poet Yasmo (Yasmin Hafedh) with a quick contribution on his origin.Of course, there are worldwide cancellations for Chris Haring’s dance company Liquid Loft, which also pays tribute to the Rabenhof stage. This is probably not only good for ImPulsTanz fans who still tremble. The afternoon (or morning or afternoon) is moderately charming by Manuel Rubey. The advantage of visiting the virtual theater is that you can cook and eat without being disturbed .
Ten hours of “plague”: the best way to eat it
After such a colorful program, a little seriousness is the order of the day: it doesn’t matter if you go to the sofa with a cup of tea or finally start the spring cleaning, the marathon reading started by FM4 and the Rabenhof by Albert Camus ” The Pest “can not only be heard, but also to be seen.
In the first episode, actors like Sophie Rois or Karl Markovic, musicians like Ernst Molden or Martin Grubinger or artists like Arik Brauer report from the respective living rooms. In ten hours you can get your apartment in shape for a few days. The reward? Literary messages from Elfriede Jelinek’s living room to Anja Plaschg, also known as Soap & Skin, Manuel Rubey to Burgtheater Director Martin Kusej and Wolfgang Ambros to Heinz Fischer. The quality varies by microphone and webcam, but it can also be used to update a little knowledge of the history of literature.
Film off! End of the day with “zero hour”
It doesn’t always have to be Netflix: Filmarchiv Austria currently offers a return to local history. This week, as part of his online retrospective on Austrian cinema after World War II, “The Angel with the Trombone” by Karl Hartl is on the show. . When do you have free time to stream a black and white film for more than two hours? Exactly. Perhaps some fans of culture still remember Janusz Kica’s staging of Ernst Lothar’s novel at the Theater in der Josefstadt in autumn 2017, in which Maria Köstlinger Henriette Alt, whose life story unites the great catastrophes of the twentieth century. Now you can see legends like Paula Wessely, Helene Thimig, Paul Hörbiger, Oskar Werner, Erni Mangold, Maria Schell, Curd Jürgens and Karlheinz Böhm on their tragic journey through Austrian history from 1888 to 1946.
