Performance Festival – DENSITIES

October 9–11, 2026

A festival for performance, resonance, and encounter

For three days, Kunsthaus Urhof20 will be a meeting point for contemporary artists from the fields of dance, sound, voice, video, and performance.

New productions will be presented, along with works from the Artist Residencies 2026, international collaborations, and selected contributions from an open call by the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien, APL).

At the center are artistic processes that emerge through exchange—between bodies, sounds, images, spaces, and people. The festival opens experiential spaces for encounter, perception, and shared experience, creating room for artistic ideas to continue developing.
