Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel: Kickoff for "Time Waltz" on Sunday

In Vienna, the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss is being celebrated this year with many events. The most original location is probably the play "Times Waltz": With the Ferris wheel, you can "dance" through the centuries back and forth from January 19th.

With each rotation, the audience moves from carriage to carriage and learns a lot about the city's history through stories and performances set to Strauss music.

"Four carriages float as time capsules through almost 400 years of city history," says the announcement from Theaternyx*, which has been organizing "extraordinary theater experiences in unexpected places" for 25 years according to its own statements. Visitors encounter characters and voices that reveal their view of the city and time. The aim is to tell "a long history of transformation in four short stories": From the year of the premiere of the Danube Waltz, through the consumer age and the effects of the climate crisis, to the future.

"Times Waltz" at the Vienna Ferris Wheel until December

The play is directed by Claudia Seigmann, who also developed the piece together with Markus Zett. Each performance lasts about 75 minutes, with dates available until December.
