SUPERGAU Festival for Contemporary Arts – under new leadership from 2027 onward

The festival series “SUPERGAU for Contemporary Arts” has a new directional team and organizational structure.

After the three previous editions in Flachgau (2021), Lungau (2023), and Pinzgau (2025), the production festival initiated by the Municipality of Salzburg will now be organized and artistically guided by a team of three:
Haiko Pfost will take on the Artistic Directionn, Kira Koplin is commissioned for the festival’s administration and production, and Thomas Hörl, born in Golling, will be responsible for local outreach, networking, and curation.

The upcoming editions will take the team to Tennengau in 2027 and to Pongau in 2029.

Schnöll: “A festival for everyone in the region.”

For Deputy Governor Stefan Schnöll, the implementation concept of the new SUPERGAU trio offers thoughtful mediation and outreach ideas before and during the festival. “The local population is also included. Children and young people are addressed through their own dedicated projects. I wish the new team a curious, exploratory, exciting, and surprising path for the festival.”
