O-Töne is a literature festival on contemporary Austrian literature that has been held annually since 2004 in the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna . The readings take place under the open sky at dusk at various locations within the museum complex.
program
Since the first event in 2004, the O-Töne program has been to present “a new generation of Austrian authors who have a major impact on the current literary discourse in this country” and to make “the broad spectrum of contemporary spelling visible” . Gabriela Hegedüs and Christoph Möderndorfer are responsible for the festival management, concept and implementation . Curator of the series is Thomas Keul , editor of the literary magazine " FULL TEXT ".
In contrast to major literary festivals elsewhere, the authors and the texts they have presented should be the focus of O-Töne. Both already published and unpublished texts will be presented at the readings.
Since 2005, the individual readings have been introduced by well-known literary scholars and critics, who are intended to bring the audience closer to the classification of the text in the overall works of the lecturer and the literary life of Austria as a whole.
