The group gecko-art was founded in 1993. The focus of the group's activities is the creation of programs for theatre acting and projects involving elements of sounds, voice play and language. In practice gecko-art carries out workshops, theatre games and audiovisual events together with children and young people. Furthermore, art objects are built for games ('gecko-art-objects') where they are set up in public spaces. Evelyn Blumenau develops the workshop conception and is the chief advisor during the workshops. She is an actress working with independent theatre groups. She is the singer of the Austrian avangarde-popband NOVI SAD. Walter Kreuz creates projects and new nethods for getting closer to art and literature by means of installations and game objects. He is an artist and performer of interactive events concerning art and literature.
In 2002 gecko-art was winner of the "Hans Czermak-Award" for contributions in order to establish a society free from violence.
