netzzeit: 2009 out of control

Vienna.
Vienna is my homeland. Born, grown up, life.
I learned to know the language of this city - and I love it.

There is a citation saying that one half of Austrian inhabitants are actors, and one half are waiters.

Which soil could be more fertile for theater - people?

What still exists here - and hopefully will keep on existing for a very long time - is a space for the useless, for relucting, for overwhelming feelings and for "Punch-ness".

People from outside sometimes ask, why in Vienna nothing works in a direct way.

Sometimes even as a Viennese you can despair on everlasting hesitations, intransparent and obscure procedures everlasting standstills, but finally Vienna makes many things possible and is very caregous and ambitious with its long history, that the city is very aware of.

There is still a lot to do in this city and we have this dance with the Viennese-feeling in our rucksack through the universe.
