Calamine

(music)

Calamine’s concert is a queer manifesto, a celebration of irreverence towards hetero-patriarchy and an eco-anxious complaint, balancing betweem enthousiam and cynicism. The « lesbienne woke sur l’autotune » celebrates all labels while overthrowing them happily. Against uninhibited populisms and pathetic conservatisms, she is not affraid of claiming hysteria and alienation to better embrace the emergency of the struggles we have to face. A woke army is rising! Calamine is surrounded on statge by her beatmaker Kètche Magané (guitars and bass), Valérie Lachance-Guillemette (saxophones and singing) and Arthur Evenard (keys).
