Mairania 857 in collaboration with Upad Foundation. London, 1950s. Reynolds Woodcock, a famous fashion designer, makes the heart of British fashion beat faster by dressing the royal family, film stars, wealthy heiresses, society celebrities, debutantes and high society ladies. An unrepentant bachelor, women came and went in his life, offering companionship and inspiration. A bulimic worker and impossible man, Reynolds disposes of his conquests according to his mood and runs his fashion house with a solemn air, flanked by Cyril, his sister and equally hieratic partner.

with: Sabine Ladurner, Viktoria Obermarzoner, Patrizia Pfeifer Concept und directing: Joachim Gottfried Goller Concept und dramaturgy: Armela Madreiter Equipment: Mirjam Falkensteiner Compulsory military service was suspended in Italy in 2005. However, since the start of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine in 2022, the debate about the reintroduction of compulsory military service in Italy and other European countries has become topical again. But what does it actually mean to join the military? What happens there and what is the historical background to this question? What values, convictions and constraints are hidden behind the term Naia? What role do ideas of masculinity, body images and violence play? And how does the military relate to the nation state? "Über di Naia" is based on extensive research into this topic and attempts to answer these questions in a contemporary, dynamic and at the same time seriously humorous way. Personal experiences are often shared in the company of people who lived through the time of general conscription. Some talk with a nostalgic note about the comradeship or the food, while others tell of unpleasant experiences such as mustering, abuse of power, violence and homophobia in the barracks. There is a rich oral storytelling tradition around this topic. Director Joachim Gottfried Goller and dramaturge Armela Madreiter have collected these stories in extensive interviews. In "Über di Naia" they are presented in the form of fragmented such as information brochures, legal texts and newspaper articles. Later, these are mixed with historical personalities and current discussions in online forums on the topic. Together, the texts and stories form a dense fabric of voices that are interpreted by the actresses in a variety of ways - sometimes musically, sometimes lyrically, sometimes playfully. When asked about the motivation behind this piece, Madreiter explains: In one of our interviews, someone said: A weapon is only there to kill someone. You have to remember that. I have to admit to myself that I tend to forget that. We were also repeatedly met with astonishment during the trial: why anything about the Naia? - The fact that the military apparatus is nothing more than an institution for preparing for war is something that is generally forgotten. Talking about the military or analysing the institution of Naia using various means and forms, is perhaps another way of dealing with the devastating possibility of a new war in several European countries.

Snow does not always appear pure white, at least not to the attentive gaze of two painters like Alfons Walde or Max von Esterle. In his paintings, von Esterle poetically celebrates the magic of snow, while Walde - a little later - does so with concise expressiveness. This is the first time that these two important painters appear together in an exhibition. Alongside theirs, there are also snow-covered landscapes by other contemporary Italian and Austrian artists. All of these paintings create a variegated fabric that, unravelling, creates an unmissable spectacle. In the exhibition, of course, exponents of the art of our time with their abstract compositions or thought-provoking installations have not been left out. At the conclusion of the exhibition, in fact, at a time of climate change, a question about the ‘future of snow’ could not be left out: how much longer will we be able to enjoy this spectacle? Entry: adults € 6.00; reduced € 5.00 for seniors; free entry for children and teens under the age of 18. Combi ticket Palais Mamming Museum and Castle Principesco € 8.00.
