THE SHIP
Fumetto, the Lucerne International Comics Festival,
presents a selection of the 2009 Swiss exhibition
programme.
With the NEXTCOMIC Festival Linz09 presents comics-starved
Austria with a new platform for comics
as an art form. The Swiss comics festival Fumetto
will be invited to Austria on this occasion. Fumetto
is the prime event for art comics in Europe. Without
any commercial motivations, the Fumetto Festival
presents the most influential and innovative artists
of the past as well as new trends. Taking an avantgarde
approach to comics, Fumetto focuses on diverse
art genres, making it an event without equal.
Fumetto draws more than 50,000 visitors each
year. From 28 March to 5 April Nextcomic will pay
a return visit to Fumetto, where exhibits will include
Gerhard Haderer’s Trash magazine MOFF, Nicolas
Mahler’s super heroes, comics art by the founder
of electro comics, Ulli Lust, as well as works from
the Austrian underground and Linz’s independent
comics community.
This Austrian première presents a play by Peter
Rinderknecht about the large and small joys of
life for children of 5 and over.
The King has a big problem: How is he supposed
to rock his rowing boat when there is no water in
sight? For it is only in a rocking rowing boat that you
can dream properly. The King keeps on interrupting
his efforts to get the rowing boat to rock with
tales from his life as an ice cream vendor and bus
driver – tales from an everyday life foreign to kings
but familiar to people like you and me. Finally the
King succeeds in making the boat rock, all without
waves, without sea, without ocean.
Everybody is special, you might even say they’re
royalty in their own way. In supermarkets, the people
standing in line with their shopping carts filled
are kings and queens. The woman at the checkout
counter is a queen. Wherever one looks, there are
kings and queens and queens and kings …
The Turkish star percussionist, composer and
singer Burhan Öçal and his Istanbul Oriental ensemble
make sure EXTRA EUROPA is off to a
flying start with their gig at the Hafenhalle09.
Burhan Öçal, percussionist, string virtuoso, composer
and producer, has been instilling new life for
decades into Turkish music of all genres with his
unorthodox approach. You will hear traces of Romani
and Sufi music as well as pop, classical, and
techno. Burhan Öçal brings together the orient and
the occident in a unique way, tracing magical, winding
paths.
In Central Europe, Burhan Öçal is known primarily
in association with this Istanbaul Oriental Ensemble.
In Linz he will be assisted by leading Romani musicians
of the Bosporus scene and fuse traditional
instrumental and vocal pieces and explosive improvisations
into a wild display of virtuosity.
TOOT – TOOOOT … All aboard! The international
theatre festival for young audiences, SCHÄXPIR,
invites everyone to a theatrical outing aboard
the historic Danube steamer Schönbrunn.
Immediately downstream from the Nibelungenbrücke
in Linz a vintage ship lies at anchor. Its paddlewheels
stand still. However if you get close enough,
creaking, grating and scraping sounds will be heard.
On the MS Schönbrunn they are still alive, the old
stories of the passengers, sailors, empresses and
captains – stowed away in the nooks and crannies
of the cabins, engine rooms and the galley.
Pupils from Linz and Schaffhausen have contributed
their most exciting, moving and imaginative
adventure stories involving ships. The international
theatre ensembles Sgaramusch and NIE will perform
a selection of the stories on board the steamer.
Ship ahoy!
The debut performance of “Das Schiff” will precede
the SCHÄXPIR 2009 festival, which will take place
this year between 25 June and 5 July.
