Meet spoken word performer and art educator Lady Gaby as Force, dancer and physical theatre artist The Darvish as Spirit, and cabaret-pop singer-songwriter Malonda as Chaos, wearing vintage clothing and accessories collected in Berlin, Paris, L.A., and London, including “little back dresses” by Patrick Mohr and Alexander McQueen, plus traditional hand-made Sufi pieces.
This story was shot by Paris-Berlin-Los Angeles cinema aficionada Claire Saint-Marc and styled by YMA curator Nadia Says as a high-contrast power clash in a dystopian Metropolis-like East Berlin, and may be a reflection about the current rise of fascism in our societies – or not.
