Siksa | Differet Sounds Zone
Different Sounds Zone kicks off its 2025 season with the one and only Siksa!
The first event of Different Sounds Zone in 2025 will open with a performance by the acclaimed duo Siksa. Known for their electrifying and thought-provoking work, Siksa, winners of the Paszport Polityki award, are a leading voice in contemporary culture. Their performances are a unique blend of punk energy, spoken word, and contemporary dance, creating an unforgettable experience.
In Lublin, Siksa will present the premiere of their new show, “Grande Donna Freiheit & Her Spiders from the Squat”. This deeply personal yet socially relevant project explores the challenges of the live music industry, the struggles of independent artists, and the fight for artistic identity.

SIKSA (meaning “girl” in Yiddish, often used pejoratively) reclaims the term, transforming it into a symbol of feminist power. The duo’s minimalist approach, using voice, bass, text, and body, creates a powerful and distinctive artistic expression. Drawing inspiration from childhood memories, folklore, and their own raw perspective on reality, Siksa’s work blends the personal and the political, giving voice to the unspoken.
SIKSA has played more than 400 concerts throughout Europe, Turkey and the Caucasus from small clubs and squats to contemporary art galleries and major European festivals.
“Grande Donna Freiheit & Her Spiders from the Squat” promises to be another unmissable and genre-defying performance.
“SIKSA’s Grande Donna Freiheit & Her Spiders from the Squat is the most insignificant and unnecessary story ever told”
