Lees in het Nederlands

With classical music, theatre and vulnerability as her superpower, performer and pianist Djuwa Mroivili challenges the traditional values of the classical music tradition, presenting new perspectives on societal issues.

Djuwa Mroivili, a multifacetted artist based in Amsterdam, is a beacon of authenticity in the world of classical music. Djuwa explores how she can challenge the traditional (cis, hetero, Eurocentric) norms and dominant hierarchies in the classical music tradition, embracing an authentic narrative.

In I Vow To Distract Forever Djuwa promises that she will always be her most authentic self as a performer, even if she is considered to be ‘distractive’ from a classical perspective. She wants to break through the classical hierarchies between composer, musician and instrument and aims for equally pleasurable experiences for all involved parties, where there is space for experiment, strength and softness. Djuwa’s own work is characterized by a blend of classical music, theatre, and beauty. Creating experiences that resonate with a sense of belonging and acknowledgment. Through her art she offers healing experiences by presenting new perspectives on societal issues using vulnerability as her superpower.
