Viennese actress Elena Schwarz presents her solo programme &#8220;Der Buhle Wert&#8221; \u2013 an evening that gets under your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The beloved in all her facets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sinner and seductress, abandoned and spurned, guilty and poisoner \u2013 the figure of the beloved runs through the entire history of literature. Elena Schwarz places her in a glaring red light, allowing famous female monologues to step out of their dramatic context. Gretchen&#8217;s desperate pleading, Ophelia&#8217;s madness \u2013 they merge with poems, ballads and biblical passages into a liturgically expansive evening on red velvet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elena Schwarz is accompanied by musician Maksim Franke. Together they guide the audience through desire and loss, brush against guilt like silk and tear open wounds that smell sweet. An evening between confession and the ecstatic urge to balance as close to the edge as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Elena Schwarz \u2013 actress, director, Viennese Piaf<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Vienna in 1988, Elena Schwarz completed her acting studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. She attracted attention early on: at the Meeting of German-Speaking Acting Students, she received the Young Talent Award for &#8220;outstanding artistic achievements&#8221;. Formative for her work was training in directing with none other than Werner Herzog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2015, she founded the &#8220;glashaus Kollektiv&#8221;, with which she realises theatre and film projects as a director as well. She regularly tours with her solo performances and live audio dramas \u2013 adapting famous literary works such as &#8220;Dracula&#8221;, &#8220;Frankenstein&#8221; or &#8220;Alice in Wonderland&#8221; and playing all the roles herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is also gaining growing recognition as the &#8220;Viennese Piaf&#8221; \u2013 attributed to her singing evening &#8220;Piaf \u2013 But Also Viennese!&#8221;. Since May 2025, she has been performing alongside Philipp Hochmair in his &#8220;Jedermann Reloaded&#8221; as Paramour, Dinner Guest and Death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her list of engagements reads impressively: Burgtheater, Prinzregententheater Munich, Schauspielhaus Graz, Wiener Lustspielhaus, Wolkenturm Grafenegg, Schloss Hellbrunn \u2013 plus appearances on ORF, ZDF, ARD and on cinema screens and film festivals worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elena lives in Vienna and Lower Austria. In her spare time, she enjoys being a dark tourist and self-proclaimed nerd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An exclusive evening at Mesnerhaus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mesnerhaus provides the perfect setting for this special evening. Gourmet cuisine meets great acting \u2013 in an intimate setting for only around 40 guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An evening that combines what Mesnerhaus stands for: culinary
