Nothing but Air / Artistic Whistling from Then to Now

Nothing but Air / Artistic Whistling from Then to Now

Wed. November 18, 2026
7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Ilgplatz 7, 1020 Vienna

And then there was nothing but air. Shards on the floor and puzzled looks in the audience. It wasn't supposed to go like that. Still, it happened again… Oh well! In this spirit, world record holder and artistic whistler Sirus Madjderey and pianist Anna Hlavka present the history of artistic whistling from its origins to the present day. A journey to the beginnings of the art of whistling, its heyday, and the question of what has actually become of it. Back then, it was a respected art form that thrilled audiences in vaudeville shows and on big stages. Today, it's more of a baffling curiosity. That needs to change: we need to whistle more! And so several questions arise, which this show explores in an entertaining, absurd, and above all clever way, interspersed with occasional magic tricks: What's the deal with all those proverbs about whistling? How many liters of air does "A Little Night Music" require? Why is the highest whistled note in the world so dangerous? And do you really need a whisk for that, or is a spoon enough? As you can see: there's a need for explanation. We promise you the light at the end of the scale. Your ears will be amazed.

Nothing but Air / Artistic Whistling from Then to Now

Nothing but Air / Artistic Whistling from Then to Now

Wed. November 18, 20267:30 PM – 8:30 PM

And then there was nothing but air. Shards on the floor and puzzled looks in the audience. It wasn't supposed to go like that. Still, it happened again… Oh well! In this spirit, world record holder and artistic whistler Sirus Madjderey and pianist Anna Hlavka present the history of artistic whistling from its origins to the present day. A journey to the beginnings of the art of whistling, its heyday, and the question of what has actually become of it. Back then, it was a respected art form that thrilled audiences in vaudeville shows and on big stages. Today, it's more of a baffling curiosity. That needs to change: we need to whistle more! And so several questions arise, which this show explores in an entertaining, absurd, and above all clever way, interspersed with occasional magic tricks: What's the deal with all those proverbs about whistling? How many liters of air does "A Little Night Music" require? Why is the highest whistled note in the world so dangerous? And do you really need a whisk for that, or is a spoon enough? As you can see: there's a need for explanation. We promise you the light at the end of the scale. Your ears will be amazed.
