How do we change perspectives when things and people become strangers to us? The performance OUBLIEZ - WHO(N) WE FORGET focuses on the 'in-between spaces' where communication takes place - between those affected, care staff and relatives - and tries to capture what happens to people who "disappear without being lost".
#FaceYourMozart is intended as a stimulus to actively engage with Mozart's music, to hear sensations and human interaction from the music, and to translate these into pantomime or scenic action with the help of a Mozart silhouette (as a tool) derived from the logo of the Mozarteum Orchestra.
Building on the experience of the two previous funding periods, in which most partner organisations were already involved, transfer formats in the STEAM area are being developed for the target groups of employees at the knowledge and technology transfer interfaces, researchers, students, graduates and stakeholders in the (creative) economy. The aim here is to build bridges between STEM disciplines and the artistic-creative sector.

The spatial installation ALLEGRIA is an interdisciplinary, interpretative research on Mozart's Symphony No. 17 in G major (KV 129).
Reactive Mozart is an interactive installation for 2 players. In 2 rooms with 360° sound and visuals, one person at a time can interact with the music and the other person via motion tracking. By collecting virtual objects, movement in the room and gesture control, different acoustic room situations are created, which enable a differentiated listening to the piece. The room acoustically and visually represents the piano, while the players can control the violin and cello.
How much time do we give life in life? Pelican or raven? How much role modeling can we tolerate? Where do we put our anger? Do you wash your hands often enough? And do you like to eat bread? Yes, and who actually asks mum? Lievito Madre invites you to take time to listen, ask yourself questions and take a closer look at the roles of mothers.
Jonas Baur, Master's student Applied Theatre invites all men (all bodies, queer-friendly, trans* inclusive) to come together to seek and find answers to what it can mean to make masculinity diverse and caring. The invitation is open to anyone who is curious, interested in sharing about gender roles, wants to see themselves as men in their own way, or wants to prevent discrimination.
Under the theme "Sharing", this new event format will enable encounters and networking between all pedagogical fields of study at the Mozarteum University.

Another piece of normality returned and the Mozarteum University hosted another alumni and emeriti gathering on June 30.

Matthew Werley gave a guided tour of the exhibition afterwards and the evening ended with a visit to Claudio Monteverdi's opera "L'incoronazione di Poppea".
