What happened in the House of Stories...

An empty house somewhere near the centre of the city is converted into a residence for stories: to marvel at, discuss, perform, hide or be made up.

It makes you want to know what lies hidden between the ground floor and the roof, what records of the hardships of everyday life bygone ages have encrypted in the run-down kitchens and bath-rooms to the rear part of the building, and what clues lurk in the cold storage room and the coal cellar.
For years no one had lived in the house in the Pfarrplatz. It did not take much to make it habitable again, and now it’s ready to be used for small exhibitions, events, or screenings. Stories will be told about being at home and leaving home; about relationships and fulfilment or pain; about fellow beings; animals; love. Anyone who enters into a relationship with this house risks being deeply touched; they have to adapt to ist spirit – to warmth or cold, silence or noise from outside, to daylight or dusk. The house retells its stories – some will be curious, others full of gloom or joie de vivre, and yet others will be anecdotes or stories with unforeseen endings – will teach you to listen, to watch and, above all, to feel.
To make use of all this we’ve put together a household of sorts: tenants from the most diverse backgrounds, whose task will be to breathe life into this building and to make it speak. Over time it will be used by a great number of different cohorts – artists, cooks, collectors, travellers, authors …
