Program
18:00: Welcome and opening of the Sandbichler Bar
Austrian sculptor Peter Sandbichler is designing a new version of his legendary bar – which he originally created for the MQ’s graduation ceremony in 1999 – specifically for this evening.
18:15 – 19:00: Dimitré Dinev & Band
Dimitré Dinev made his literary breakthrough right away with his brilliant debut novel “Engelszungen” in late 2003. On July 8, 2004, he gave his very first reading at the then-newly founded O-Töne literary festival in the MuseumsQuartier, accompanied musically by the Wladigeroff Brothers. In September 2025, his second novel, “Zeit der Mutigen,” was published.
On July 2, 2026 – 22 years after his first O-Töne reading – he will perform at the Hof Kunst Fest alongside Alexander & Konstantin Wladigeroff and drummer Maria Petrova to celebrate the MQ’s 25th anniversary.
19:15 – 19:50: Matt McCreary & Charles Auguste
The Movement Artists with a background in parkour, Matt McCreary and Charles Auguste, turn public space into their stage. Their original site-specific performances emerge in close dialogue with urban architecture. They view urban space as both a partner and a material: through their interaction with surfaces, obstacles, and the flow of public activity, they reveal the latent choreographies hidden within our built environment.They view urban space as both a partner and a material: through their interaction with surfaces, obstacles, and the flow of public activity, they reveal the latent choreographies hidden within our built environment. Their fluid and spontaneous movement language unfolds in direct dialogue with each specific location, blurring the line between performance and everyday life.
For their first performance in Vienna, they are developing a new work at the MuseumsQuartier Wien as part of the Hof Kunst Fest.
20:00: Tutti Dilemma
Tutti Dilemma consists of circus and performance artist and musician GAFFA GALAKTIKA (Julia Makoschitz) and her multi-instrumentalist colleague FLITZMASTERZERO (Moritz Frank). Their shows are known for their infectious energy and diverse vocal power, paired with thoughtful social commentary and breathtaking dance, theater, and acrobatic performances.
As part of the Hof Kunst Fest, they’ll be letting their energy sparkle in the water basin.
20:30: UCHE YARA
As a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, UCHE YARA fuses alternative pop, R&B, and club sounds into a raw, genre-spanning universe that is both intimate and rousing. She switches effortlessly between instruments and styles; her unmistakable voice, her powerful energy, and her magnetic stage presence captivate the audience – and turn every performance into a shared experience.
21:30: Doris Uhlich
At the invitation of MQ Wien, Doris Uhlich is creating a solo performance in and for the MQ Hof, which culminates in one of her eclectic DJ sets. The artist, who has been associated with the Museumsquartier and its institutions since 2001, weaves together traces of the past, present, and future in the former court stables. Nonstop gallop.
