Quiet Matters with The Boiler

Quiet Matters is a series of short concerts and performances dedicated to our inner voice and subjects not usually addressed out loud – intimate, fragile things in times of shouting politicians and crying babies.

Anyone planning to come to Quiet Matters - short concerts and performances, and has no ticket for the previous show of "All Together", is invited to register under the TICKETS link:

There is only a limited number of seats.

The Boiler

is the most recent solo project by Vienna-based musician, media theorist and activist Kristina Pia Hofer. Kristina has been doing punk DIY shows since she was 15 and teaching herself a number of instruments. On her new album BODY = DEATH, The Boiler reckons with precarity, change, vulnerability, resilience, relationality and resistance and demands solidarity and love the way they are able to unfold in collectives, hoping to change the destructive need for private, heteronormative romance.

Michikazu Matsune is an artist whose works blur the limits between performance, dance and visual art. In recent years, he has devised numerous solo performances in co-production with brut that have continued to tour the world, the most recent ones including For Now (2017), Goodbye (2016) and Dance, If You Want to Enter My Country! (2015). Matsune has organised and curated group exhibitions and performance events, including Homesick Festival (2017), Global Citizen (2016), Towards the other side of the world and Face Forward (2015).
