Danube Theatre World in Ottensheim

16.07.2009

Now’s the time to set sail for Ottensheim on the Danube! Amidst an idyllic, summery atmosphere where river, peninsula and mainland meet, you’re cordially invited to enter the theatrical world of “Culture Bathing.”

This Otherworld is situated on the banks of the Danube and in its waters—a myth-enshrouded, utopian society of inhabitants perfectly in synch with the riverside landscape. There are swimmers, tidewater fishers, book washers, an admiral, a contrabassist, and many other otherworldly characters. Viewer/participants of “Kehrwasser (Eddy),” a gemütlich theatrical stroll, can choose whether they want to be observers or protagonists. “Ertrinken (Drowning)” features retellings of Danube myths and tales of the Otherworld. “Linzswimming” is exactly what it says: a 12-kilometer waterborne outing from Ottensheim to Linz! And by all means cruise over to the Paper Ship Dockyard, where everyone can build his/her own private yacht and launch it on its brief way to a watery demise.
