Trying to Forget You
Aérea Negrot, Simon*e Jaikiriuma Paetau
A spontaneous performance brimming with confrontational energy and beauty in the streets of Berlin. In the middle of the night, a broken heart finds music in the arms of beautiful strangers. In memory of artist and musician Aérea Negrot, who passed away much too young in 2023.
