herbstkabarett

Stefanie Sourial & Barbara Juch

Curated by Mirela Baciak
Commissioned and produced by steirischer herbst ʼ23

The artists:

  • Stefanie Sourial with Nachlass (2023)
    Stefanie Sourial’s cabaret deals with the baggage that comes with a cultural trust fund (“Nachlass”). She guides the audience through her journey as a descendant of Egyptian pharaohs all the way down the social ladder to a childhood as a perceived foreigner in rural Austria and the struggles of making a livelihood as an artist in Vienna. Sourial shows how nuanced and complex privilege and inferiority really are, and how they are often just different sides of one coin. She offers practical exercises in destabilizing your perception and your comfort zone.
    '
    Stefanie Sourial (1981) is a performance artist. Her work is anti-racist, queer, and sociocritical, combining two modes of storytelling: the historical and the personal, with a constant focus on the political. From 2009 to 2015, Sourial was a performer in Katrina Daschnerʼs queer-feminist Club Burlesque Brutal. Since 2017, she has been part of the stand-up ensemble PCCC (Politically Correct Comedy Club). Her solo projects have premiered at Viennaʼs brut, among other venues. Sourial lives in Vienna.*

  • Barbara Juch with Barbara bezahlt bar (2023)
    The problem with class is nobody really knows to which class they truly belong. Barbara Juch’s new show for herbst cabaret takes a unique look at social ascriptions and boundaries in Austria—a country where the ruse of equal opportunity faces off against old wealth. Juch explains what ironing embroidered underpants has to do with book deals, why well-told origin stories so often come with old money in plastic bags, on which finger noble families in Graz wear their signet ring, and what it means to keep paying cash for your entire life.

    Barbara Juch (1988, Klagenfurt, Austria) writes poetry (BAR BAR A, Verlagshaus Berlin, 2020), essays (Sport, Verlagshaus Berlin, 2023), and for the stage (Making a Great Gatsby, which premiered at Schauspielhaus Graz in 2022). She studied English Literature in Vienna and New York and completed a masterʼs degree in Critical Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Juch lives in Vienna.
