CURRENTLY...
After my time as dramaturge at the Reichenau Festival (2022–2025), where I had the opportunity to conceive and design formats such as the Entrée podcast, play introductions, and theater education, I am now very much looking forward to my new role as dramaturge at the Carinthian Summer and to working with artistic director Nadja Kayali.
My reading version of Schenja Berkowitsch’s novel “Zöglinge” with Birgit Minichmayr, which was so successful at last year’s Carinthian Summer, can be seen at the Burgtheater in Vienna on November 22 and January 16.
And already now, we are announcing LOISIARTE 2026, our 20th edition of the festival, which will take place from March 19 to 22.
VITA
Angelika Messner is a playwrite, dramaturg and director living in Vienna. Her work is marked by variety and quality. Her artistic roots lie in music with her studies of the violin at the universities of music in Graz and Vienna having shaped her effectively. Rhythm, sound, and the musicality of language remain important aspects of her directorial and literary work.
