Lyudska Podoba (UA)

Description

GENDERDOC-M Information Centre is pleased to invite you to the first ever concert in Moldova of the Kiev-based experimental electronic queer pop band “Lyudska Podoba”. Lyudska Podoba is an avant-pop band founded in 2012 by Ukrainian artists Anatoly Belov and George Babanski. Fusing dance beats, avant-garde madness, and post-Soviet soulfulness, they probe questions of queerness, gender, sexuality, beauty, love and the lack thereof – all for the first time in Chisinau. Adopting consciously campy, maudlin poses, they stress the constructedness of identity, which is even implied by their name – translatable as “Human Likeness.” Against the backdrop of the homophobia and transphobia that is widespread not only in Ukraine, but in the whole post-Soviet region, they sound as a note of joyous defiance. “It’s shiny music,” they say, “overflowing with all our favorite fetishes, mixing the things that inspire us, the things that makes us dance, turn, twist and laugh.”
