recreate Opening - Mister Montelli

What's it about?

Opening of recreate 2026 – AND BESIDE US Words of welcome from the Mayor of Weitra Patrick Layr and a representative of Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner Thoughts on our annual theme AND BESIDE US – Maria Thanhofer. She presents thoughts on the intentions of our cultural initiative Recreate Sankt Margareta with a view to the annual theme AND BESIDE US. Amidst all the unforeseen events in the wider world that we cannot influence, that we can only observe, spaces for development emerge. Spaces to understand. Spaces to see new things. With examples from literature and current news, Maria Thanhofer will present our hopeful message on the words AND BESIDE US. Flutes and Live Electronics – Sophie Katharina Schollum Concert Mister Montelli Sophie Katharina Schollum – flutes, voice, composition Anna Magdalena Siakala – viola, voice, arrangements Theresa Dinkhauser – clarinets, voice With Damenunterrock "... and forwards, backwards, sideways, stop!" (From a children's rhyme) Three musicians, three instruments, three voices – that is Mister Montelli. In their new program, the three women embark on a search for the wisdom of characters from children's and young adult books, to make solutions for current socio-political discourses conceivable and tangible, and to lead their audience back into their own fantasy worlds. "For time is life. And life dwells in the heart." (From Michael Ende's Momo)
