Mimikry: Wellness Retrotopia
Theater and sauna — an immersive wellness archaeology
the property at neumarkt 5 was once a sanatorium. now, on the occasion of the rediscovery of the “bilgeri healing spring”, it is revived: with real sauna, homemade floating tank, reclining cure, regulative therapy, “wellness in death”, light showers and bathing in the hot well. while everyday life delivers drama, theater beckons as a low-stimulus wellness place for mental and physical regeneration: this is wellness retrotopia. let yourself be pampered, actively, passively or interpassively.
wellness experts from art, medicine and science will take care of your relaxation and well-being. you are in the very best hands. just float. retrotopia nostalgiewellness™ makes loss and uprootedness enjoyable — an inner adventure journey for those overstimulated, self-reference training for the labor force that is becoming unnecessary, and instant relief for the desperate longing for continuity in a fragmented world. everything that disturbs or harms is moved out to our fat-room at chorgasse 5, visit on request.
