In order to musically dive into the depths of Johann Strauss, to play his waltzes "with the motion of the waves of the sea", God's Entertainment will have a larger-than-life, inflatable spatial sculpture, whose shape is reminiscent of an octopus, floating in the pond on Karlsplatz. In this artistic manifestation of the octopus, an exciting symbiosis of Strauss and Donna Haraway, the three-quarter classic will shine in a completely new light.
