the amazing toxic dreams and their cast of sad clowns present: The Circus of Life A – Z

For this year's season closing the Tanzquartier Wien is inviting TOXIC DREAMS and their guests to the The Circus of Life A – Z in the 21st century. In the tradition of the expos, 26 temporary pavilions cover all spheres of life by alphabetical order: sex, science, Hollywood, the arts, philosophy, economics, politics, sports, religion and much more.

Thus you stroll from A for Abramovi? through the Feature Artist Pavilion to Z for Žižek into the Philosophy Pavilion, linger a while at D for Death in the After Life Pavilion, roam I for IKEA, P for Porn or visit the Food Pavilion as in U for undercooked.

In The Circus of Life A – Z, the faculties and genres, high and low culture, the easy and the difficult blend in. Great architecture is being designed and the chess of politics is to be played, the audience attends a crash course in cooking or guests on a game show. Stand-up comedy walks hand in hand with experimental live art, pop meets avantgarde: our theatre flirts with dance, musical and the visual arts.
