Dystopia wetlands

Weaving spells through tender melodies and earthy beats, the emerging avant-pop artist and alpine witch is joined by creatural dancers and a band for a live show. Livia Rita entrances audiences through tender, siren-esque melodies in combination with earthy beats, feral movement and ethereal textures, creating a realm in which magic abounds and nature rebels. Her debut album, Fuga Futura, is the cosmic gateway between this world and the next. This live ritual explores mythology, ecology, community, love and vulnerability in order to awaken the otherness within, claiming the future as a space for reverie to thrive at the edge of existence. A portal of transcendence is opening – queer utopias will unveil our superpowers, shifting our fears and desires. Livia Rita is forming an eclectic, genre-defying sound. Stretching beyond pop boundaries into a fluid post-everything era. These internal outpourings will sing your mind into the future, beyond the apocalypse, where music is a source of fierce and fiery strength.
