Siksa

Booking Agent : Federico Zanatta

SIKSA (yiddish: שיקסע, romanized: shikse, disparaging word for a young woman percieved as vulgar, inexperienced and immature) is a feminist duo arranged for voice, bass, lyrics and bodies. SIKSA’s concerts combine the energy of a punk concert, performative poetry or contemporary dance. Thanks to the interaction with the audience, every show acquires unique dramatic qualities. In the limitations of the instruments and stage presence, the duo finds the strength to carve their own path. Sometimes it's based on childhood memories, other times on fairy tales and legends, or reality transformed by the uninhibited and unrestrained vision of SIKSA. In her work, the personal meets the political, and the unspoken meets the deafening.

SIKSA played over 400 concerts all over Europe, Turkey and Caucasus from small clubs and squats, through contemporary art galleries to the largest European festivals. Since the beginning of 2025, SIKSA has been touring with the latest concert season entitled “Grande Donna Freiheit and Her Spiders from the Squat “SIKSA’s Grande Donna Freiheit and Her Spiders from the Squat is the mostinsignificant and unnecessary story ever told” Forbes Magazine .
This world map, destroyed not by our hands, offers us fewer and fewer places where we can be inspired by our own stupidity. Closures, lease terminations, rent increases, small clubs in trouble followed by lack of health insurance and money for therapy. To finish off the remains of this useless and impossible-to-monetize fuckery, Grande Donna Freiheit is accused of manipulating and persuading people to do unnecessary, stupid, primitive and naive things. A shadow of de-legalization and guilty conscience looms over her small, yet grand band, Grande Donna Freiheit and Her Spiders from Squat. What to do in this fucked-up situation? Is reminding us that we are all spiders at heart and all we need to do is to put the band back together enough? And of course, to record our tape again, with us being at our most cruelly stupid, and therefore the most rebellious together?
LET’S DO IT!
