Black Medusa: Seven Chants on Bodies and Battlefields

Invited by Setareh Shabazi to communicate with the exhibition EYES, COME BACK, Malonda will activate one of its stages.

Join us for an evening of spoken word and song with Malonda, a political artist who brings her passion for anti-racist and queer feminist issues to the stage. With Black Medusa: Seven Chants on Bodies and Battlefields, a new work, Malonda gives voice and presence to new interpretations and imaginings of the mythic Gorgon.

MALONDA is a Berlin-based singer and “electric diva” who writes her own songs and shines on theatre stages. She is passionate about anti-racist and queer-feminist issues. Singing and speaking about gender roles, sexuality, and diversity, Malonda has made a name for herself as a political artist. She toured across Germany with Laing, Großstadtgeflüster, and Moka Efti Orchestra, with her highly acclaimed debut album Mein Herz ist ein dunkler Kontinent (My Heart is a Dark Continent), and played at major German showcase festivals such as c/o pop, Pop-Kultur Berlin, and the Reeperbahnfestival. With the grace of Hildegard Knef and the power of Grace Jones, Malonda celebrates on stage, where you can not look away and are brought to listen.
