Teatro Serapion de Viena, Theatrical troupe in Vienna, Austria.
Teatro Serapion de Viena is a theatrical troupe based in Vienna that develops and performs its own productions, combining live performance, music, and stage design. The group tours to different venues across Europe and occasionally beyond.
The troupe was founded in 1973 by Ulrike Kaufmann and Erwin Piplits with the aim of exploring new forms of theater-making. Over the following decades it grew into a recognized name within the independent theater scene in Europe.
The ensemble weaves theater, music, and visual design into a single performance, and audience members are often drawn directly into the action on stage. Each show feels different from the last as a result of this hands-on approach.
The troupe performs at different venues in Vienna and across Europe, so it is worth checking the exact location of the next production before you go. Booking in advance is a good idea, as smaller venues tend to fill up quickly.
The name of the troupe comes from Spanish and refers to the Seraphim, the highest-ranking angels in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition. This reference to three different faith traditions at once was a deliberate choice by the founders when they named the company in 1973.
