W elcome to the universe of Mx. CoelaCunt, a fluid being that refuses to be contained. Not by time. Not by binary systems. Not by humans.

Mx. CoelaCunt will live forever is a concert-performance in wh ich creator, musician, and performer Djuwa Mroivili takes you into the dep ths. Into deep seas, fractured roots, ancient rituals, and new forms of re sistance. Djuwa draws connections between Comorian traditions, queer cultu re, and the mysterious life of the deep sea - a world still largely unknow n to humans.

The Comoros Islands - where Djuwa traces a family histo ry - is where the essence of this journey unfolds: a place where oral trad itions, music, and campy weddings intertwine the past and present. A place where matriarchal and patriarchal structures coexist. But also a place wh ere European colonizers once stigmatized existence itself - and erased the lives of those whose gender and sexuality defied colonial norms.

Mx. CoelaCunt will live forever is a tribute to everything that mov es, shifts, and refuses to disappear. An ode to survival and the different ways we do this. Through a fluid blend of musical languages, fashion and glamour, Djuwa creates a performance that is both healing and confrontatio nal.

Inspiration Mx. CoelaCunt
Mx. CoelaCunt is inspired by the coelacanth: a fish with a crucial role in evolutionary the ory. A fish with primitive lungs and fins that move like the limbs of land animals - unnoticed by European scientists, but long known to Comorian fi shers.

This concerns a performance for the Warming Up Festival. The performance is an adapted version: it features elements from the original show (including text from the show), in which Djuwa talks about h er research and shares musical excerpts from the work. She has also recent ly performed something similar at the Festival Down The Rabbit Hole.

In her study of the Comoros, she has carried out extensive resea rch into musical traditions and the link between those traditions and the resistance movement. She draws a parallel with the existence of the coelac anth, a fish that has been around for millions of years and has witnessed all these changes from within its caves. She will perform a number of piec es from the show, interspersed with music and narration about the stories and the traces they have left behind in the present day. The work is inher ently intersectional, through her use of music, the (theatrical) texts she recites and (queer) fashion.
