Queer Book Club Vienna – Who’s Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler
2026-04-12 14:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Vienna) | Vienna
A Queer Book Club Exploring Gender, Politics, and Power

Join us this April for our Queer Book Club at Villa Vida Café as we dive into Who’s Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler — one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary gender theory.

In this session, we’ll unpack Butler’s latest work, which examines how “gender” has become a political flashpoint across the world. The book explores how anti-gender movements operate, what’s at stake, and how language, fear, and power shape public discourse.

This is a space for collective reading, critical thinking, and community exchange. No academic background needed—just curiosity and openness.

About the Book

Who’s Afraid of Gender? looks at the global backlash against gender theory and LGBTQIA+ rights. Butler analyzes how gender has been framed as a threat in political rhetoric, and what this reveals about broader struggles over democracy, freedom, and identity.

Expect themes like:

Anti-gender movements and moral panic

The politics of language and framing

Queer and trans resistance

Power, fear, and ideology

Queerlig mit Schmäh Comedy Show
2026-04-14 19:30 - 22:30 | Vienna
Queerlig mit Schmäh is coming to Villa Vida Café. The show is hosted by Bianca Klein and brings together FLINTA* and LGBTQ+ comedians for a night where people try out new material in front of a live audience.

Some performers are stepping on stage for the first time. Others have been doing comedy for years. The idea is simple: everyone gets a few minutes, the audience gets something real, and not everything has to be perfectly polished.

The show has already filled rooms at other venues around Vienna, and now it’s settling in at Villa Vida as a regular stop.

What to expect

This is a testing space. Comedians get around 8–12 minutes each to try jokes, stories, or half-finished ideas. Some things land, some don’t — that’s part of the point. It’s relaxed, a bit messy, and usually very funny.

If you like comedy that feels close and personal rather than over-rehearsed, you’ll probably enjoy this.

Want to perform?

If you’d like to get on stage, send a private message to @bianca_klein_comedy or just show up.Stage time is about 8–12 minutes per person.

Come by, grab a drink, and spend the evening laughing with us.

‚Queerlig mit Schmäh‘: Die neue queere Comedy Show in Wien – mit FLINTA*- und LGBTQ+-Comedians im Herzen Wiens, moderiert von Bianca Klein.

Auch im neuen Jahr ist Queerlig mit Schmäh wieder zurück und heißer denn je 🙂

Am 14. April 2026 wir die Villa Vida zum neuen Comedy-Hotspot! Comedians (Flinta/LGBTQ+) testen hier ihr Material, egal ob blutige Anfänger*innen oder ‚alte Hasen‘, bei uns bekommt jede*r eine Bühne.

Nach ausgebuchten Abenden in anderen Locations kommt die Show jetzt endlich in die Villa Vida und wird damit zu einem neuen Fixpunkt der Wiener Comedy-Szene.

Komm vorbei und genieße einen Abend voller Humor und Lachen – mit neuen Perspektiven, abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade.Möchtest du auftreten? Schick eine private Nachricht an @bianca_klein_comedy oder komm einfach vorbei. Bühnenzeit: ca. 8–12 Minuten.Tickets for April 14:https://queerligmitschmaeh_april2026.eventbrite.at

Why “Lavender”?

Lavender has a long and powerful history in queer culture. Before rainbow flags existed, the color quietly symbolized queer identity, solidarity, and resistance. It showed up in the fashion of queer circles in the 1940s and 50s, became a coded sign of recognition, and later transformed into a symbol of strength during the “Lavender Scare,” when queer people were targeted and fired from U.S. government jobs.

Today, lavender stands for resilience, creativity, and community care. Lavender Lounge honors that legacy by offering a warm, creative space for queer expression — whether you’re a seasoned artist or just experimenting.

Science Meets Mindfulness - From Anger to Compassion - Rechanneling Stress and Understanding Our Needs Part 1
2026-04-17 16:00 - 18:00 | Villa Vida Café, Linke Wienzeile 102, Vienna, Vienna, 1060, Austria
Rechanneling Stress and Understanding Our Needs

A two-part experiential workshop series

Registration Necessary.

Pause. Sense. Feel. Transform.

Anger, rage, and frustration are part of being human. Yet when left unchecked, they can hijack our nervous system, cloud communication, and strain our relationships.

This two-part experiential workshop series offers a grounded, science based path to meeting anger with awareness; and transforming it into clarity, empathy, and compassion.

Blending neuroscience, mindfulness practices, embodied movement, and mindful communication tools, we explore how anger affects the body and brain; and how it can become a powerful gateway to self understanding and deeper connection with others.

Through guided meditation, reflective journaling, gentle movement, visualisation, pair and group exercises, you’ll learn how to rechannel stress, regulate your nervous system, and engage with conflict in a more conscious and compassionate way.

Part 1: Rechanneling Stress and Understanding Our Needs

We all experience anger and frustration, when we feel disrespected, unheard, or blocked from reaching our goals. These emotions can feel overwhelming and have a strong impact on our nervous system and well-being. How can we navigate these moments without being overtaken by them?

In this first workshop, we focus on understanding anger from the inside out. We explore how emotional hijacking and chronic stress work in the brain and body, and how our internal narratives and unmet needs fuel reactive patterns. With curiosityand compassion, we begin to transform anger into self-awareness and self-care.

You’ll explore:● The neuroscience of anger, rage, stress response, and emotional hijacking● How bodily sensations and internal narratives shape anger● Identifying the feelings and unmet needs behind frustration● How to rechannel anger through breath, visualisation, and gentle movement● Using mindful self-talk and mantras to express needs● Cultivating self-compassion as a foundation for clarity and regulation

The Mindful BAse x Villa VidaWhere science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community.

At The Mindful BAse, we believe that mindfulness is not only a personal practice, but also a powerful way to strengthen relationships, communities, and our connection with our environment. Founded in Vienna in 2025, our mission is simple: to bring people together,foster well-being, and cultivate a community rooted in awareness, kindness, compassion andrespect.

Through our collaboration with Villa Vida, we are excited to present a series of science-based mindfulness workshops designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, nurture learning and reflection for supporting the local queer community. We create spaces whereancient practices meet modern insights, offering sessions that combine yoga, meditation, neuroscience, communication tools in a safe, inclusive and inspiring space. Each workshop invites you to slow down, connect, and learn practical ways to care for yourself and others – grounded in both science and lived experience.

🌈 All identities, bodies, and levels of experience are welcome. https://themindfulbase.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mindful-basehttps://www.instagram.com/the_mindful_base

🌈Baden Pride Fundraiser - Dragsau Kollektiv Show🌈
2026-04-25 18:00 - 22:00 | Villa Vida Café, Linke Wienzeile 102, Vienna, Vienna, 1060, Austria
Pride Drag Fundraiser at Villa Vida Café

We are thrilled to return to Villa Vida Café for the third edition of our community drag fundraiser supporting the Pride parade in Baden bei Wien. After two joyful and high-energy nights, we are back once again to celebrate queer creativity, solidarity, and collective pride.

This special evening is a collaboration between the Baden Pride Verein and Dragsau Kollektiv, bringing together performers and organisers who believe that drag should be bold, political, joyful, and accessible. The event also highlights disabled drag artists and places accessibility at the heart of the show, creating a space where more members of our community can both perform and participate.

Expect a vibrant lineup of drag performances, powerful stage moments, and plenty of sparkle, all in support of Pride Baden and its ongoing work to create visible, inclusive Pride celebrations outside of Vienna. Every donation helps support the Pride parade in Baden bei Wien and strengthens queer community organising in the region.

Whether you are a long-time drag fan or simply curious to experience the magic for the first time, come celebrate with us, cheer for incredible performers, and help us raise funds for Pride.

More details about performers and the programme will be announced soon.

Come early, grab a drink, and get ready for a night of unforgettable drag, community energy, and Pride spirit.

To make sure everyone has a seat and enough space to move around comfortably, we ask all guests to reserve a spot through the registration form.

Seating will be arranged in cinema-style rows (not at tables) to allow clearer pathways and easier movement in the room. This setup helps create more accessible space for wheelchair users, mobility aids, and anyone who may need extra room.

When filling out the form, please use the comments section to let us know if you have any specific seating or accessibility needs. We will do our best to accommodate everyone so that the show is comfortable and enjoyable for all.
