Diana Dobrescu is a non-binary transmedia artist. From video and sound to make-up and outfit, their performances span across media and formats. Diana’s art is multiple in form, clear-cut in substance. It is about staging the difference, owning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘I want to help people stand for their strangeness and queerness.’<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Both a performer and music producer, Diana Dobrescu is also an astrologer. Through this ancient art, somewhere between the sensible and the intelligible, they explore the power of intuition to build new narratives of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diana performs under three identities that transcend the gender binary. Distinct yet intertwined, Monica Kinolta, Dance Divine, and Cyborg Amazone engage in the joint undertaking of exploring the healing power of the voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monica Kinolta is an analog witch. As she navigates the spaces between electronica and witchcraft, her deconstructed EBM sound resonates with the painful facets of love. You’d see her on stage carrying weapons like amulets as she digs into her bodily memory and sets forth her feminine identity. She is a warioress championing her matriarchal lineage, an introvert who asserts intimacy while staging vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinolta’s raw performances are echoes of the violence within. She sings, whispers, and screams \u2013 in eight different languages \u2013 to face the violence around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
