Selected people who have applied through an open call can develop and test their ideas during the festival. Thereby there is the possibility for further development and realization of the ideas for the next festival edition. Topics such as accessibility for, or the perspectives of children and young people, as well as public space, are to be significantly incorporated into the development of ideas.

Antonio Semeraro
As a multimedia artist he draws his inspiration from different areas of experience. In his work as a set designer he focuses on composition and colour. As a trained carpenter and former rehearsal stage coordinator at Volkstheater Wien he combines technical feasibility with artistic components of the fine arts. His main focus is on a conceptual approach. In his work there is a clear statement of the artist to questions that arise within the viewer about current and partly timeless themes. Antonio Semeraro's subject area includes social justice, gender equality and elimination of prejudices.
