Three female singers tackle the music of Frederik Croene from their individual backgrounds: soprano Lore Binon, singer-songwriter IKRAAN and performer Amina Osmanu. The texts come from Dominique De Groen’s immense novel-in-progress, in which three young women forge a magical connection. Together they decide to combat the irredeemable, patriarchal world with radical sorcery. A playful but powerful defiance of female clichés and a worrying future.

 

This performance forms the artistic bridge between the Klarafestival and Passa Porta Festival, which will take place from 23 to 26 March.
