Tangente St. Pölten
Class struggle in the wrestling ring
The festival for contemporary culture in the St. Pölten capital region will be focusing on democracy from September 12 to October 6. Among other things, a wrestling ring will be set up.
The fun and powerful event "Battle for the City" offers wrestling with music, drama and slapstick interludes. On September 14 and 15, real wrestlers will bring the contradictions of our late capitalist present to the ring in St. Pölten in the play by Julian Warner and Veronika Maurer.
What awaits you at "Kampf um die Stadt"
In "Kampf um die Stadt" by theater makers Julian Warner and Veronika Maurer, cultural warfare becomes class warfare again, with six professional wrestlers competing against each other.
Cultural event in St. Pölten
"Fight for the city. A wrestling show" will be shown on September 14 and 15 at 19:30 in the Jahnturnhalle.
Price: 20 euros
There is also a 50 percent discount on admission for anyone under the age of 26.
The symbolic location of the performance is the public space - the place of exchange, encounter and social interaction, but also the scene of commercialization and displacement. Profound conflicts arise worldwide between these two poles, and in St. Pölten they are played out in wrestling.
"Enormously clever"
Süddeutsche Zeitung
Stop! Building site! A new district is being built here. Parking lots make way for hipster cafés! Cultural events instead of infrastructure! The city is changing - but for whom? Who decides? Who owns the city? And who is to blame for the misery? Experience-hungry cultural tourists or visionary urban planners?
