Since December 2022 , the Great World Theater by Burgis Paier enriches Klagenfurt

In 2018, when she was first confronted with her own mortality due to a severe illness, Burgis Paier began to stage her great world theater.
She has interpreted and portrayed 350 personalities from the vast field of art and cultural history that were formative for their life and art: artists, writers, composers, philosophers, musicians, singers, fashion designers, actors, freedom fighters, politicians, explorers, natural scientists, and even fairy tale characters are among them.

However, the costume designer and puppet maker Paier has not created puppets or marionettes for a theatrical stage, nor has she produced classical sculptures as a visual artist. She has created hybrids that cleverly oscillate between the two forms of representation and exhibition: half sculpture, half puppet, half permanent, half ephemeral, half body, half image.
