About the show
At the crossroads of folk, vocal performance, noise and avant-garde songwriting, Sophia Djebel Rose creates a singular universe where the voice becomes a space of exploration and transformation.
On stage, she presents a minimalist performance built around guitar and harmonium, where the intensity of the voice, the ritual dimension of singing and the connection with the audience are at the heart of the experience.
Raised between France and Morocco, she shapes a plural body of work informed by multiple trajectories, weaving together Mediterranean heritage, mysticism, experimental soundscapes, ecological sensitivities and feminist perspectives.
Featuring - Sophia Djebel Rose
Sophia Djebel Rose is a Franco-Moroccan artist who distills a singular music.
Blending folk, noise, experimental song, and avant-garde poetry, she invents a new language of her own. Born into the perpetual exile of a childhood divided between two countries, Sophia has turned wandering into her greatest strength.
As a modern poetess, she now takes the stage alone, armed with an electric guitar, to sing of the beauty of the lands she has ceaselessly left behind. Her live performances intertwine Mediterranean music with ecological and feminist themes, all of it carried by a syncretic approach that merges into a mysticism meant as an invitation to break the course of things and to reclaim one’s strength.
