Primal

Monika kicks off 2013 at the Onassis Stegi with a series of concerts to accompany the release of her third solo album. Dealing with the roots of her artistic and personal creativity for the first time, she presents her upcoming album, a work whose influences range from Motown to art pop. Using a single power as her catalyst—light—she explores the meandering obvious in emotional zigzags and the interaction between the overt and covert aspects of all human existence.

Setting forth from the wilderness of mental inertia and attaining catharsis as she understands it, these musical performances present the rare spectacle of melodic communication between the artist and her audience. Inspired by the eternal evolution of nature which has proved that the illuminated doesn’t always prevail, Monika asks what ultimately happens to our charismatic dark side.
