This unique project bringing together performance, literature, poetry and art has been presented around the capital and we are thrilled to host the final evening at the ACF London. From the Rich Mix Arts Centre to the Freud Museum to the Austrian Cultural Forum this is a project that explores the legacy of the Habsburg era through decidedly contemporary, original works of text and art which attempts to be as complex and genre testing as the works, and the people, they are responsive to. This is a project where the past, and our understanding of it, is not refracted through historical analysis, but the creative process, and one that is utterly contemporary. Kakania is an opportunity for audiences to discover the Habsburg era in a wholly new guise, that is our era.

The performance will feature more ground breaking local and European artists: George Szirtes on Arthur Schnitzler, Ben Morris on Ernst Krenek, Joshua Alexander on Paul Wittgenstein, Thomas Duggan on Ernst Mach, Fabian Faltin on Otto Wagner, Stephen Emmerson on Rainer Maria Rilke and Colin Herd on Oskar Kokoschka.
