BABY VOLCANO
If You See Me Giving It My All, It's Because I Cry at Night
(Si me ves ir con todo, es porque a la noche lloro)
musical performance
This isn’t a show. This is a blast.
In a hybrid of concert, performance, and ritual, Baby Volcano creates an intense, visceral experience that awakens the nervous system. In a 360° space where the audience becomes part of the action, sound inhabits the body, the bass vibrates through the sternum, and movement becomes language.
"A hypnotic roaring torrent, a spectacular and otherworldly performance." – 24 Heures
Her poetics are raw and unfiltered: between ecstasy and breakdown, between dance and scream, between collective trance and intimate confession. This is a space where the body exhausts itself, the voice disintegrates – and for a brief moment, community becomes essential.
"A phenomenal druidess." – Le Temps
Baby Volcano builds a world where celebration and pain are inseparable, where art loses its distance, and where everything happens here and now.
"Beyond the sublime." — RTS
Having received the Swiss Music Award for Best Live Performance, Baby Volcano confirms her status as one of the most powerful new creative presences at the intersection of music and the performing arts.
If you come, you'll be sucked in. If you don't, you miss out.
