Songs of Radical Kindness

An Outernational Festival

In a continuously changing and shifting world, while watching endless destruction and violence on our screens – in these overwhelming times when personal and collective wounds intertwine to separate and polarize us, where do we stand? When our voices are incapable of expression and beauty is taken hostage to serve something other than itself, how do we find the strength to speak up?

The singers and cantadoras Golnar Shahyar and Rasha Nahas come together for the first time in a concert-meditation with old and new songs of protest and kindness. Together with an ensemble of international musicians they dive into a circle, a ritual of connectedness, of radicality, sisterhood and transformation.

Around this concert premiere Outernational presents a Listening Session and more concerts: A solo concert with Derya Yıldırım and a Set with Electronic Artist Rojin Sharafi.

Artists/Collaborators: Golnar Shahyar (Stimme und Piano), Rasha Nahas (Stimme und E-Gitarre), Derya Yıldırım (Stimme und Bağlama), Rojin Sharafi (Electronics), Lina Allemano (Trompete), María Kim Grand (Stimme und Saxophon), Mahan Mirarab (Gitarren), Jelmer De Haan (E-Bass), Altaïr Chagué (Percussion und Schlagzeug), Elisa Erkelenz (Kuration und Dramaturgie), Lina Zuchantke (Produktionsassistenz)
