After last year my festival KOMM.ST took place for the second time in the middle of the beautiful Austrian countryside.
Through an artist in residence project called TEN DAYS TEN ARTISTS financed by the EU (European Union) it was possible to bring artists from Japan, France, Slovenia or Colombia to the festival.

Anger located in seven different places, theatre, concerts, and all together more than 20 artists performing, meeting people, working and enjoying this unique atmosphere.
