ImPulsTanz Festival Focuses on South Korea in 2026

In the summer of 2026, ImPulsTanz returns – with a strong focus on South Korea. The 43rd edition of the international dance festival in Vienna brings new names, established figures, and a diverse program ranging from K-Pop, rituals, to club aesthetics.

Dance and performance from South Korea take center stage at the 43rd edition of the ImPulsTanz Festival (July 9 to August 9, 2026). The first program highlights of the scene meeting have now been announced: Accordingly, the Korean choreographer Eun-Me Ahn will make her ImPulsTanz debut with her piece "Post-Orientalist Express." "Between rituals, K-Pop, and futuristic club aesthetics, Western and intra-Asian orientalisms are thrown into disarray," the announcement states.

ImPulsTanz with International Newcomers and Familiar Faces

Also visiting for the first time is the Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos, who will present "My Fierce Ignorant Step" to the Viennese audience. But familiar faces have also found their way back into the program: Mentioned are the American Trajal Harrell in cooperation with the Wiener Festwochen, the Canadian dancer Louise Lecavalier, and the French dancer and choreographer Boris Charmatz. Tickets for the festival will go on sale in the spring.
