Rita Nitsch

Rita Nitsch is the widow of the late Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch, a leading figure in the Viennese Actionism movement known for his provocative and often controversial performances involving themes of ritual, blood, and transcendence. Following her husband's passing in 2022, Rita has sought to continue his legacy, notably attempting to revive his famous Six-Day Play at Schloss Prinzendorf, thereby contributing to the ongoing dialogue surrounding performance art in Austria.
