Sveta Ben & Galya Chikis 20. April 2023

The songs of Sveta Ben and Galya Chikis contain the whole spectrum of emotions, from hopeless despair to desperate hope. Only one thing is missing - fun. But everyone, it seems, has already started to get used to its absence.

But there is joy. Or at least the expectation that amidst the gaping emptiness and underworld of darkness someone else is responding to your signal.

Feel that you are not alone. And there are already two, maybe many more... When one person is holding the other's hand, talking to them, it means all is not lost.

To all those who need a little joy,
meet me on April 20
at Underdogs' club
Nádražní 349
PRAGUE

Let's ride this wave in spite of the storm and hurricane all around. Reception... reception...

SVETA BEN

Benka is a musician, singer, poetess, creator of the legendary Belarusian cabaret band Silver Wedding and theatre director.

Her performances are unforgettable journeys into the world of literature, theatre, German and French cabaret and film history.

GALYA CHIKIS

Galya Chikis is a singer and composer who has recorded an impressive amount of astonishing music alone and in collaborations over the past decade. She has participated in numerous side and otherworldly musical projects and is the winner of Artemy Troitsky's Steppenwolf Award.

Belarusian musicians Galya Chikis and Sveta Ben recorded in Berlin almost the best album of the year in Russian.

"This album is about any confrontation with injustice, about a situation when a little person is helpless. When you don't know how to act, but something in you tells that there is a right action - and you have to painfully look for it, not to increase the evil around" - says Sveta Ben.
