Ganymed goes Europe opens up new perspectives on old masters of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna (Art History Museum). The Austrian theatre group WENN ES SOWEIT IST invited sixteen Hungarian and international authors to compose a literary text on a masterpiece from the museum’s collection that inspires them.

Walking through the museum, the visitors become part of the theatrical setting and decide by themselves how long they stay on a particular stage. On each evening the sixteen pieces are performed simultaneously and repeatedly.
