Nesterval are the pop stars of Vienna’s free scene. In the spring of 2026, the company are daring to think big: they are turning the tales of the Nibelungen into an intense, immersive experience. Across two venues (one open air, the other behind closed doors), there emerge two independent yet closely intertwined plays. Both plays, Wallden at the Vienna Festival (Wiener Festwochen) | Free Republic of Vienna in Augarten park and Donaugold at brut Wien, are set in a post-apocalyptic universe. Wallden is the utopia of self-sufficient, communal life amid nature – or what is left of it in 2044. While Wallden thus represents that which is wild, physical and archaic, Donaugold reflects that which is decadent, civilised and controlled. Both ways of life raise a question: How do we want to live (or survive) in the near future? That which succeeds in Wallden fails in Donaugold – and vice versa. For there is no ‘single true path’ and to err is human: postapocalypse now!


A joint production of the Vienna Festival (Wiener Festwochen) | Free Republic of Vienna and Nesterval
