Nature Theater of Oklahoma (US)

Die Kinder der Toten – Der Große Dreh

The Nature Theater of Oklahoma ventures the impossible: creating a film version of Elfriede Jelinek’s novel “Die Kinder der Toten”. Filming around Neuberg an der Mürz is, at the same time, a live performance. Anyone who wants can come along and watch and, above all, join in!

Festival centre at Palais Attems

After years of roaming the city, in the festival’s fiftieth year steirischer herbst is declaring its headquarters as festival centre. With spectacular roofing over the courtyard, an installation in public space, a wide range of events, bar and restaurant, among other things.

Thank you!

We would like to thank all of steirischer herbst's supporters, partners and sponsors, without whose generous support the festival could not exist in its present form!
