Dance performance for all from 5 years, 50’From the tripod fish to a giant squid ... Three dancers invite us onto a journey into the depths of the oceans. With their bodies and some simple props they awaken mysterious creatures, build colourful underwater landscapes and try surprising transformations. In these spheres time runs slower and our ears meet sounds that seem out of this world.

Tudo Tranquilo means something like “everything’s fine.”
Bernadette and Josef Irgmaier play music influenced by living life and letting live, in a calmly yet vibrant mix of bossa, jazz, and more, in Brazilian Portuguese, Bavarian, Spanish, and English.
Bernadette and Josef Irgmaier (vocals and piano / accordion) have been performing as “Tudo Tranquilo” since 2011. They play bossa, jazz, and more in Portuguese and other languages, and perform on both sides of the Salzach, the Danube, and the Atlantic Ocean.
From all over the world, they have found their way to Salzburg.
The performances of the two young companies are as different as poems and vegetables.

Solo with Live Music, 30’
The transience of the moment, the ephemeral nature of life and the fragility of memories: Lost in a sea of photographs, a dancer takes us on an emotional journey through personal memories as well as past life moments of others. A journey into a world of mourning where the ephemeral is palpable. If life is lived forward, it can only be told and understood backwards.

The BitterSweet company, founded in 2021 by Perle Schabl-Cayron, develops European co-productions. In a physical and human form of dance it explores the influence of social situations on the body. In 2026 it creates “JJN 3”, an immersive film about Alzheimer’s disease, and “Under Construction”, a piece for six dancers in harnesses exploring constraint and freedom.
Quintet Dance & New Circus / Premiere, 25’
The piece explores a choreographic fantasy world full of ‘celery creatures’, nonsensical beings that refuse categories of identity, sexuality or nature. Queer intimacy and acts of care are explored through humour, contemporary dance and acrobatic partnering.
