An Escape Room by Deborah Sengl
For all the insouciance of his Stadtpark monument, Strauss was very much a prisoner of his own image. But then, aren’t we all? Deborah Sengl starts with the “real-life” Strauss to explore what it means to be a major artist, at the same time enabling her audience to find out more about their own innermost leanings. Sengl’s event formats are intriguing, but also profoundly reflective. Other successful escape rooms with the Time-Busters were a sensitive engagement with involuntary migration in 2019 and a searching take on child poverty in 2022.
