The Austrian non-profit organisation LIFE+ is organising a live benefit show for the second time to support aid projects of the initiative AUSTRIA FOR LIFE.
The AUSTRIA FOR LIFE benefit show will highlight decisive moments on the road to Austrian democracy, collecting donations for children, young people and their families to secure their livelihoods, promote learning and education and provide psychosocial counselling.
In a historical setting, a 90-minute multimedia show will take place in front of Schönbrunn Palace, framed and supported by more than 150 national and international artists from the fields of dance, music and drama. Numerous celebrities as well as members of the Austrian Armed Forces Guard will take calls from viewers through an A1 call centre during the prime time broadcast on ORF 1 and private stations.
Through the involvement of numerous volunteers and the show effects used, fascination for knowledge is awakened and impulses for solidarity and cohesion in society are set.
The initiative ÖSTERREICH HILFT ÖSTERREICH (AUSTRIA HELPS AUSTRIA) was launched together with Austria’s leading aid organisations (Caritas, Diakonie, Hilfswerk Österreich, Österreichisches Rotes Kreuz, Samariterbund and Volkshilfe) in cooperation with ORF at the beginning of the Corona crisis. Through various aid projects, the initiative supports children, young people and families who are in need due to the current multiple crisis situation.
Gery Keszler, chairman of LIFE+: “Through the eyes of children, we are going on a journey through time in a spectacular show that traces the concepts of democracy, freedom, duty and the common good in order to learn together for the future. Strong cohesion and our social responsibility are more important than ever in the current situation and its effects.”
The benefit show will be an important contribution to the support of the initiative AUSTRIA HELPS AUSTRIA and will offer an unforgettable experience for all participants.
