X Avant XVI: Listen

Performance in X Avant XVI Series

It was about time for this partnership! The Music Gallery is proud to be working with our venue neighbour RISE to create a night of music and spoken word. The theme of the night is dedicated to emotions that arise when one is not kept in mind. Where one feels powerless, tokenized, and the frustration that may arise.

Eyeda Sophia and Nathan Baya collaborate on a musical rap poetry piece, while Nasim & Moël take to stage with prose and poetry dancing around the festival theme.
