Hannah Rosa Oellinger und Manfred Rainer

Hannah Rosa Oellinger and Manfred Rainer design rooms, costumes and films. They love unusual spatial solutions: In Proserpina (Neue Oper Wien, 2021), the stage is lowered into the orchestra pit so that it can be seen by the audience via video transmission. For Gemeinschaftskernkraftwerk (2022), they transformed a decommissioned nuclear power plant into the setting for a documentary theatre piece. They set their pink stage landscape for Fairy Queen (Theater St. Gallen 2024) at 1400 metres above sea level in the Swiss mountains. They also work with immersive settings in the exhibition area that draw visitors into the story. In Viel Erfolg (MUSA, 2013), a narrow cardboard tunnel leads visitors through a story full of self-doubt, self-exploitation and self-optimisation. Her scenography for the exhibition From Zwentendorf to CO₂ (Volkskundemuseum Wien, 2023) brings the history of the Austrian environmental movement to life.
