Concert: Astrit Ismaili
5 June
18:00 - 20:00
ODA TheaterPrishtina Pride is bringing this year the cross-media project created by Astrit Ismaili, a well-known artist who works mainly with experimental pop music to explore the transformative potential of bodies and spaces.
The First Flower, or Lulja e Parë, is a project that includes the release of an experimental pop music album, which derives from the artist's previous performance work entitled "MISS" (2019). The project is written from the perspective of the world's First Flower - a green plant that undergoes a physical and spiritual transition to increase its chances of success while pioneering extremely fluid sexual interactions.
The performance by Astrit Ismaili includes the exploration of several themes related to transformation, beauty, and sexuality. The organization of this activity goes beyond mere entertainment, thus serving as a powerful tool to promote participation and cultural diversity while simultaneously contributing to the growth and inclusion of the cultural sector in the country.
*The event will be open to the media.
