Baroque grandeur crumbles, but something new emerges from its ruins – raw, untamed, self-determined. It is a rebellion against the established, against a power that seeks to preserve itself. Rigid order is replaced by movement. What comes next belongs to us. The future is not something we receive – it’s something we shape.
This years festival unfolds under the theme „Reshape the Narrative“. Baroque elements which are deeply rooted in Salzburgs historical heritage and omnipresent in its cityscape are being deconstructed, fragmented and reassembled into a contemporary visual language. It represents the mission to open new creative perspective, questioning existing norms, rethink conventions and explore innovative intersections between art, technology and imagination.
