Fritzpunkt represents a method of handling the work of Austrian writer Marianne Fritz, one of the most radical and complex writing projects in contemporary German-language literature. Public appropriation, series of readings, lectures, actions in the public space, and theatre performances are some of the formats practised by Stadt Theater Wien with the Fritzpunkt project since 2002. Since 2004, Fritzpunkt has been publishing the discursive experimental series “Fritz anwenden” at the Centre for Art and Knowledge Transfer at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna; the continuity of this publication is a pre-condition for theatre projects that embrace space at various locations: landscapes of association for Marianne Fritz’s fortress project. Fritzpunkt regards text material whose language you do not understand as naturally suitable for conducting a fundamental analysis of the canon of forms of the phenomenon commonly referred to as theatre.
