What is Supergau?
Supergau is an imaginary landscape, a culturally virgin landscape. It is temporary, and during the festival it lies like a second layer over the existing topography of one of the five Salzburg regions [Gaue] (Flachgau, Lungau, Pinzgau, Pongau, Tennengau).
Supergau is free of the purported dominance of the town with its program- med cultural spaces, free of urban museums, theatres, cabarets and salons demanding to be filled with target audiences. It is free of the concept of public space, for Supergau knows only landscape. Supergau is both surface and depth. Supergau has forest and meadow landscape, mountain landscape, residential landscape, tarmac and concrete landscape. In Supergau, all these and more forms of landscape can become stages, scenes of artistic action. Supergau is a festival held exclusively outdoors.
This biennial festival was premièred in the Flachgau region in 2021. In 2023 the Lungau (district of Tamsweg) will be the Supergau for contemporary arts.
Supergau invites artists to take time for the festival, so it facilitates residencies which offer the opportunity of working on site, researching and exchanging ideas. The whole institution, the development of a dramaturgy and the planning of content in collaboration with participants is an essential component of the festival.
This Open Call marks the beginning of Supergau, which culminates in the 10-day festival at the end of May 2023.
