Last tour for this season: Mariana Sadovska


In her home country she is known as the ‘Ukrainian Bjork’: in her furious performances the singer, actress and composer Mariana Sadovska crosses all borders: Archaic midsummer night invocations, wedding songs and migrant chants from remote Ukrainian villages transmute into contemporary sound that embraces both folk and avant-garde. Creating innovative compositions in dialogue with ancient traditions, Mariana Sadovska approaches each piece with a fresh and uniquely personal vision. With a voice of impressive power and range her stage presence is a tour de force that oscillates between fragility and defiance.
For this tour she has teamed up with German percussionist and electronica specialist Christian Thomé tocreate an acoustic road movie: a meeting of cultures in poetry and melody, singing tales of love and death, despair and hope, in search of freedom and identity.
