DESCRIPTION OF THE CONCERT
“Snake Charmer” is an intimate sonic ritual of self-cleansing and transformation. Through hypnotic soundscapes, fragile melodies, and raw emotional presence, Anastasia Rydlevskaya invites listeners into a trance-like journey - a descent into memory, vulnerability, and inner strength.
This concert unfolds as a rite of passage - a soft yet powerful immersion, where fear dissolves, and a braver, freer version of the self emerges.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTIST
Anastasia Rydlevskaya - born in 1995, Minsk, Belarus, she is a multidisciplinary artist and musician based in Gdańsk, Poland. Weaving her Belarusian pagan heritage with contemporary sonic landscapes, she crafts intimate songs that blend electronic folk, art-pop, and fragile, poetic melodies. A graduate in comparative literature and French philology, Rydlevskaya draws deeply from literary traditions, mythologies, and the quiet layers of language, shaping her music as a tapestry of symbols, memory, and emotional resonance. Having lived in the United States, France, and Belarus, before settling in Poland, she channels a richly layered cultural experience into songs that feel both ancient and startlingly present. Since beginning to record her own music in 2023, Anastasia has released three critically acclaimed albums - “When I Can’t Speak”, “Mugwort”, and “Snake Charmer” - with over a million streams globally. Her work, much like her visual art, unfolds as a profound exploration of inner transformation and belonging, beyond binaries and into a breathing conversation with existence.
