INGEBORG & Maxi Blaha: Text and Performance in Vienna

A performance featuring the perform of Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann is scheduled for February 26, 2026, in Vienna. The event, to be held at the Schöberl/Maxi Blaha venue, will include a performance by actress Maxi Blaha and texts by Rotraut Schöberl, a writer and bookseller.

The event is described as an exploration of remaining “receptive to one’s own…” according to preliminary listings. Bachmann, a significant figure in post-war Austrian literature, is the subject of ongoing scholarly attention, including publication and translation efforts.

Maxi Blaha, the performer, is an actress based in Vienna. Rotraut Schöberl is a writer and bookseller similarly based in Vienna.

The announcement coincides with a broader cultural program in Vienna, as evidenced by the city’s extensive historical record of artistic and intellectual figures, including numerous individuals documented in the Wien Geschichte Wiki, spanning from the 20th century to the present day. The wiki lists a wide range of artists, architects, and writers who have contributed to the city’s cultural landscape.

Carolin Sandner, a writer and logopedist, published a piece titled “GIVE PEACE A CHANCE” on September 28, 2025, which appeared on the Literatur Outdoors website. Sandner, who also works as a coach and offers systemic family constellations, is the author of both mystery novels and non-fiction works.

The Kunst- und Kulturbericht 2021 for Vienna, a report to the Austrian Parliament, references a “Einzug ins Museum” by Maxi Blaha, noting its “zeitgeistig und stimmgewaltig” quality.
