The Kuseng - Hoamatlond, Hoamatlond

With a sharp eye, plenty of charm, and a knack for the subtle (and not so subtle) quirks of the country, he serves up Austrian delicacies on a silver platter. Tradition meets modern absurdities, dialect meets dry humor, all in an evening full of surprises. The performer takes the audience on a journey through the local depths, from quirky everyday situations to the big questions of coexistence. And the audience? They laugh their way through the evening or see themselves reflected in it.

The program covers a wide range of topics, inspired by the versatility of the artist himself. Growing up as a former refugee child in Upper Austria, he became a Vienna resident in 2016 and made a name for himself not only as an LGBTIQ+ activist but also as a rapper. His experiences navigating identity, social engagement, and artistic expression shape his view of the world. This perspective is sometimes sharp-tongued, sometimes contemplative, but always with a healthy dose of self-irony. Personal experiences are skillfully woven into political contexts. Instead of preachy moral sermons, he extends a benevolent, open hand to the audience.
