ImPuls Tanz, Europe's biggest dance festival will be in full swing while you are visiting Vienna!

ImPuls Tanz, Europe’s biggest dance festival promises exciting times from the world of contemporary dance: a man in an aquarium, posing on pointe shoes, a dog on stage, a shackled Prometheus.

On 12 July, the Canadian company La La La Human Steps of Edouard Lock will show virtuoso dance in pointe shoes. In the evening, the Festival Lounge opens the doors to the Burgtheater vestibule.
Bollywood star Terence Lewis and his company perform a bombastic open-air Bollywood spectacle in the MuseumsQuartier on 13 July - with free admission.
ImPulsTanz then shows premier performances, innovative newcomers and early works by the masters of contemporary dance for four whole weeks.
Works by Ivo Dimchev and Franz West (with dog), Christine Gaigg and Marco Berrettini as well as Marie Chouinard celebrate world premieres. Chouinard even dances a solo.
Liquid Loft / Chris Haring starts a new cycles and Wim Vandekeybus / Ultima Vez present an Oedipus piece and, in "Monkey Sandwich", a man in an aquarium. Meg Stuart and Philipp Gehmacher explore solitude and closeness in "Maybe forever". Dirk Stermann, a cabaret artist on Austrian television, shows his first work as a choreographer.
The focal point of ImPulsTanz is the showcase of Belgian artist Jan Fabre and his company Troubleyn, including the group work "Prometheus - Landscape II".
