Theater zum Fürchten

Theater zum Fürchten is an independent theatrical company working across multiple venues in Vienna, including the Scala Wien space that holds between 90 and 160 spectators. The ensemble creates original theatrical works and performs in diverse locations ranging from conventional stages to unconventional spaces.

The company was founded in 1987 and established itself as a platform for experimental and unsettling theater. Over the years it developed a large network of performers and artists that enables it to realize diverse projects.

The company focuses on dark and unsettling works drawn largely from Anglo-American and Elizabethan literature. Productions attract audiences interested in psychologically intense and unconventional theatrical experiences.

The performance venues are accessible by public transportation and entrances are set up for visitors with mobility constraints. It is best to check the current program in advance as performances take place at different locations throughout Vienna.

The company operates a converted theater bus that serves as a mobile performance space, allowing shows to take place in unexpected locations. This mobile concept enables the company to reach audiences throughout the city and free theater from its traditional building.
