Gildaa lives in the eye of the beholder, between France and Brazil. Her memory is like a moody phone: the signal doesn’t always come through. She sings bilingually but thinks in reverse. A satirical poet, at the crossroads of Folk and Baile Funk, she shares a drink with Jazz and RnB, breaking down the walls of traditional concerts. She only truly feels at home on stage, in her mind, where the absurd and the mystical are intimately connected — a space where, eventually, everyone comes together. It’s the audience that brings Gildaa to life. The audience only.
Myriade is a rich and uplifting explosion of music, film and performance — a curatorial platform in which Dorothée Munyaneza convenes a myriad of voices, gestures, rhythms and stories to resonate.
At Short Theatre 2026, Munyaneza has invited artists who share her search for poetry and who incessantly invent other ways of inhabiting the world. Alongside Gildaa, Myriade will also be activated by the screening Except this time nothing returns from the ashes by Asmaa Jama & Gouled Ahmed and the performance Toi, Moi, Tituba… by Dorothée Munyaneza herself.
