A 250-meter-long red carpet – originally intended for a performance – will be cut into different sized parts in the wake of COVID-19 and thus converted into mobile stages in two Viennese municipal buildings.
The image of artists and residents on a piece of carpet is a metaphor for “physical distancing” and at the same time for a unifying action that overcomes the barriers between those involved. The short film is also a contemporary portrait of two important municipal and social housing developments in Vienna, together with their special architecture and above all. with its diverse residents.
