Draga goes up to the front – Liberation
A hoarse voice escapes from other voices that overlap like the manner of O Superman of Laurie Anderson. It is that of the actress Anna Mouglalissupported by the illuminated choirs of a supergroup made up of musicians, composites and singers Lucie AntunesP.R2B, Theodora Delilez and Narumi Herisson. All accompanied the farewell to the scene of Brigitte Fontaine in the spring of Bourges and participated in the scenic adaptation of Witch from Mona Chollet between 2022 and 2023. Bathe here under the alias Draga, they put to music The Guérillères of Monique Wittig (1969). This text that has become cult, a vector of a scandalously radical lesbian feminism, was thought of by its author as a Trojan horse capable of destroying the heterosexual norm, at the forefront of the women’s liberation movement (MLF).
In this manifest book, Draga is the first name (among others) of those who sing, dance, enjoy their clitoris, pride themselves on their vulva, carry the rifle, cultivate disorder, spit on the patriarchy, challenge the established rules, tear their freedom and triumph by leaving the old world to death. The roots of their unbridled ferocity are expressed here in a procession of votes, primitive and inhabited, urgent and fanatic, almost animal, treated as an organic and percussif instrument like Meredith Monk or, once again, of Laurie Anderson. These non -verbal phonemes support the raging intention of the subject. Figure of #MeToo cinema, Anna Mouglalis turns out to be authoritarian, impetuous, belligerent, rude, with her franc speech that collided with a voluble score, where percussion that chips, elegian organ melodies, kraut guitar riffs, psygal synths and a purring bass. Draga flows perfectly into this epic poetry, at the crossroads of post-punk and the Cold-Wave, from which we emerge gray, drunk with anger and combat.
Another Trojan horse that pretends to love the objective gaze of men to better overthrow it in this manifesto punk disco burlesque of a raw poetry and outrageous ass.
In this EP, Nadya Tolokonnikova, Russian Guérillère hardened with hooded happenings, gives us her strong sex version on a Straight Outta Vagina Punk threatening.
A tireless activist whose anger transpires in each corner of her first album which dezugged the vile parasitic, dominant, having, with a creaky humor.
