➔ Marianne 3.0
Our esteemed venue had the honor of hosting the highly anticipated album release of the multitalented Marianne, which was accompanied by a spellbinding live performance and a lavish vernissage courtesy of the Lisbon-based record label AUFSTAND! The debut album, entitled Tirésias, was made available on various digital platforms the very next day.
Tirésias, which takes its name from the gender-fluid character in Greek mythology, is a stunning work of art that draws inspiration from the vibrant and diverse global queer community. Marianne's debut album incorporates a broad variety of sounds and is characterized by their remarkable vocal prowess, which is both diverse and emotionally stirring. The album's themes explore Marianne's own journey of self-discovery and examines the complex relationship between gender identity and societal norms.
The live performance that followed the release of the album was an unforgettable experience, and it was a testament to Marianne's immense talent and improvisational skills. Their vocal prowess was awe-inspiring, and the audience was left spellbound by the intensity of the performance. The concert was elevated to new heights by the ethereal design of Marianne's outfit and the awe-inspiring glass wall behind them, which were both created by the visionary designer Marcus Hass Horn.
The entire performance was an immersive experience, surrounded by a series of intricate audiovisual and physical installations created by the gifted artists from AUFSTAND!, including the talented Marco Maiato, Carolina Ardente, Nico Tyna, and Ndr0n. Each of the installations was carefully crafted to complement Marianne's music and the overall mood of the event, resulting in a breathtaking and unforgettable experience for all those in attendance.
The vernissage that preceded the performance was an equally impressive affair, showcasing the collective talents of the artists and designers involved. The event featured stunning merchandise designed by the enigmatic CVNT3000, and electrifying DJ sets from the Swiss collective StranaCorpus and Oseias, which further added to the already impressive atmosphere of the evening.
In summary, Marianne's album release and live performance were a stunning testament to the power of music and art to create immersive experiences that connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level.
