A cooperation of the Diagonale with Schauspielhaus Graz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ludwig W\u00fcst \u00a9 Diagonale\/Miriam Raneburger<\/p><\/div>\n
He\u2019s a carpenter, theater and film director, and a driven man in the positive sense, a \u201cmaverick of Austrian cinema\u201d (Alexander Horwath): Ludwig W\u00fcst is among the most unusual figures in the local auteur film branch. His most recent film DEPARTURE<\/em> (AUFBRUCH<\/em>), which will open March 8, 2019 in local cinemas, celebrated its world premiere in the Forum of the Berlinale 2018, before its Austrian premiere at last year\u2019s Diagonale. In a first-time cooperation with the Schauspielhaus Graz, the Diagonale\u201919 will now trace the diverse oeuvre of this veritable exceptional phenomenon Ludwig W\u00fcst: Theater, Cinema, Wood<\/u> \u2013 an In Reference<\/u> tribute in three parts.<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/h1>\n
Ludwig W\u00fcst at Schauspielhaus Graz<\/h4>\n
In addition to his work as a film director and theater maker, W\u00fcst also appears as a skilled carpenter. These three roles frequently intertwine in his creation, and often the fields function as communicating vessels. Thus, the Diagonale\u201919 will not only screen selected films by Ludwig W\u00fcst and shed light on his approach to film and cinema with an international short film program that he has curated, but will also focus on work with the material wood and on the \u201cboards that mean the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The festival of Austrian film will embark upon new territory in doing so, with an extensive cooperation with the Schauspielhaus Graz: On Thursday, March 21, 2019, Ludwig W\u00fcst\u2019s staging of August Strindberg\u2019s Fr\u00e4ulein Julie<\/em> will celebrate its premiere in HAUS EINS of the Schauspielhaus Graz. This evening at the theater features a prominent cast: Gerhard Balluch, shooting star Julia Franz Richter (a. o. L’ANIMALE<\/em> by Katharina M\u00fcckstein, Trakehnerblut<\/em> by Andreas Herzog and Christopher Schier), and Margarethe Tiesel (a. o. Paradies: Liebe<\/em> by Ulrich Seidl, Das ewige Leben<\/em> by Wolfgang Murnberger). With these last two cited, central roles are taken on by two actresses who could recently be seen not only in highly acclaimed stage productions, but also in films by directing greats such as Ulrich Seidl and Katharina M\u00fcckstein. Presales for the exclusive premiere of Fr\u00e4ulein Julie<\/em> in the staging by Ludwig W\u00fcst in the context of the Diagonale started on January 15!<\/p>\n
The Diagonale\u201919 tribute Theater, Cinema, Wood<\/u> is framed and completed by a lecture on wood for fans and filmmakers. Like in W\u00fcst\u2019s films, layer after layer is removed to expose the hidden, beautiful, and obscure. A special program for all the senses!<\/p>\n
The tribute receives a further extension to its program with the presentation of the art book “HOLZ, THEATER, FILM \u2013 Die Arbeiten von Ludwig W\u00fcst,” published by Album Verlag, for which the editor, initiator, and designer Claudia Siefen-Leitich gathered together manifold sketches, texts, and photos from W\u00fcst\u2019s private archive.<\/p>\n

1 \u2014 Premiere Fr\u00e4ulein Julie<\/em>, staged by Ludwig W\u00fcst<\/h2>\n
The presales began on January 15, 2019. Discounted tickets can be purchased with a Diagonale accreditation. More on this here and here.
\n\u2014 Date: March 21, 2019, 7.30 p.m., Schauspielhaus Graz, HAUS EINS<\/p>\n
Fr\u00e4ulein Julie, the young daughter of the earl, attempts to assert herself as an emancipated woman, in opposition to the reigning Zeitgeist<\/em>. With the house servant Jean, who is already in a liaison with the cook Kristin, she embarks upon a disastrous night in which gender roles are suddenly reversed. From the seductress to the fallen one \u2013 Julie is driven into the clich\u00e9 victim role, from which the only known escape is a tragic one.<\/p>\n
Ludwig W\u00fcst stages the chamber play by August Strindberg as a new experimental arrangement, as a \u201cvampire game\u201d as he calls it: As a revived spirit, the young Julie haunts the elderly couple Kristin and Jean. Every year on midsummer\u2019s eve, the dead who live in an old wooden coffin in the attic of the former manor, awaken from their deep slumber to live out their tales of passion, again and again.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe utopian reservoir of the evening is found in the opportunity to act in ways other than the ordinary in conflict scenes, to become stuck in old behavioral patterns, or to fatefully recognize that there is no way out of one\u2019s own story. In the course of this night, Fr\u00e4ulein Julie has the opportunity to rewrite her story.\u201d

\u201cLudwig W\u00fcst is a film and theater director and carpenter. The Diagonale has devoted the first major tribute to him. As theater maker, but also as film fan, it is of great interest to me, to enable for the first time, as partner of the Diagonale film festival, an exceptional staging with ensemble actors at HAUS EINS, the large stage of the Schauspielhaus Graz: Under the direction of Ludwig W\u00fcst, Julia Franz Richter, Margarethe Tiesel, and Gerhard Balluch act in August Strindberg\u2019s Fr\u00e4ulein Julie<\/em> in the translation by Peter Weiss, a unique theater experience.\u201d

2 \u2014 Film program<\/h2>\n
\u2014 Egyptian Eclipse (<\/em>\u00c4gyptische Finsternis<\/em>,<\/a> D: Ludwig W\u00fcst, AT 2002)
\nThe description of an odyssey without a return home, based on Ingeborg Bachmann\u2019s novel “Der Fall Franza“<\/em>. Ludwig W\u00fcst\u2019s debut film has not yet been shown at the Diagonale.\u00a0Afterward will be a book presentation on W\u00fcst\u2019s creation by Claudia Siefen-Leitich: “HOLZ, THEATER, FILM \u2013 Die Arbeiten von Ludwig W\u00fcst”\u00a0<\/em>(Album Verlag)
\n\u2014 My Father’s House (Das Haus meines Vaters<\/em>, D: Ludwig W\u00fcst, AT 2012)
\nWith My Father’s House,<\/em> W\u00fcst solidifies his international reputation as an uncompromising and exceptional filmmaker. Filmed with a hand camera in a nearly single take, a return home becomes a search for clues with an uncertain goal. Following the screening will be a Diagonale im Dialog talk with Stefan Grissemann.
\n\u2014 DEPARTURE<\/em> (AUFBRUCH<\/em>, D: Ludwig W\u00fcst, AT 2018)
\nA carefully staged masterpiece, a film about looking at one another and being human. Special screening on festival Sunday, on the occasion of the opening in the cinemas on March 8, 2019.
\n\u2014 Short film program \u201cMavericks\u201d
\nAn international short film program curated by Ludwig W\u00fcst offers insight into the creative work of filmmakers whom W\u00fcst appreciates and admires. In this, focus is decidedly on cinema beyond the mainstream. Ludwig W\u00fcst as movie buff, as cinema goer, as fan.
\n\u2014\u2014\u2014 Menk <\/em>(D: Artavazd Pelechian, AL 1969)
\n\u2014\u2014\u2014 L’homme atlantique<\/em> (D: Marguerite Duras, FR 1981)
\n\u2014\u2014\u2014 Earth of the Blind <\/em>(D: Audrius Stonys, LT 1992)
\n\u2014\u2014\u2014 Paper Route <\/em>(D: Robert Frank, US 2002)<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
3 \u2014 Wood lecture<\/h2>\n
The films by Ludwig W\u00fcst, who learned the carpentry trade more than thirty years ago, always tell in passing of his love for wood and the work with this eminently sensual material. W\u00fcst\u2019s belief in the magnificent creative possibilities is also reflected in his works in wood. The lecture invites interested persons to contemplate a craft that will likely soon disappear. Information on registering for the event will follow closer to the time of the festival.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Ludwig W\u00fcst<\/h4>\n
Born in Bavaria, has lived in Vienna since 1987. He studied acting and singing at the University of Music and Performing Arts. Since 1990, he has worked as director, author, and actor and has created more than forty productions for theater and opera in Vienna, Leipzig, Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt. He has been a filmmaker since 1999.<\/p>\n
The Diagonale\u201919 will take place from March 19 to 24 in Graz. The entire program will be published on March 7. Ticket sales begin on March 13, 2019.<\/p>\n
