history

The theater was built on the grounds of the former Palais Nathaniel Rothschild as a successor to the Franz-Domes-Heim . Its founding was described as a special concern of individual leading AK functionaries. The postmodern architectural style of the architect Rudolf Jarosch was initially discussed controversially and referred to as the “functionaries baroque” or Palazzo Prozzo. The house (without its own ensemble) was able to establish itself as a fixed point in Viennese cultural life. Three theater halls (the actual theater with a peep show stage and 455 seats, the podium, an event hall with 384 seats and the studio) are available. The programming focuses on current social issues: theater, concerts, cabaret, children's events, readings but also intercultural programs are offered. In 2008, a mix of well-known artists and up-and-coming talents achieved an occupancy rate of 86.06% and an internal coverage rate of 71%.
