The name Machreich stands not only for an invitation to active music-making and the economic success resulting from it. The agency’s founder and her colleagues dedicate themselves first and foremost to the unique artistic development of each of their singers. In an atmosphere of mutual trust and personal connection, individual projects can be conceived and inspiring constellations initiated. Intuition and discretion are the highest precepts for the work of a highly qualified team, which engages in its work with heart and mind.

“Art is not, after all, a pretty add-on – it is the umbilical cord which connects us to the divine; it guarantees our identity as humans.”

Nikolaus Habjan, puppeteer & staging
Qualtinger's text was first performed as puppet theatre with Nikolaus Habjan at the Schubert Theatre in Vienna. Now the award-winning evening, which was awarded the audience prize at "bestOFFstyria 2.10", is being shown at the Stadttheater Landsberg. With the help of his puppets, Nikolaus Habjan slips into a variety of roles, all of which together form "Mr Karl".
