Which spirits do we need today in public space?
A ritual of transformation makes invisible bodies visible: dreams, stories, and sensations intertwine to create a performance that questions existing attributions and unleashes collective imagination.

The process began in April 2025 with a workshop in which interested residents of Braunau worked together with the artists to explore questions of constructed identities and personal experiences. Through imagination, new spirits for the city were created.

The results feed into the design of a performative parcours through Braunau. During the Festival of the Regions, visitors will encounter unfamiliar figures and bizarre body forms in public space along this route.
