Fri Da Shows

Beskrivelse

A year-long monthly performance series by Frida Marida at Oslo Nye Teater Fri Da Shows is a monthly performance series where Frida Marida hosts bold, humorous, and politically charged musical events that turn the audience into active participants. Every episode is built around a unique theme, combining music, camp performance, body-instrument techniques (Frida’s nipples, steering wheels, ass percussion), voting, competitions, live jury panels, and unexpected prizes. The atmosphere is playful, queer, and socially aware—each night blending entertainment with commentary on censorship, identity, honesty, and body politics. The audience becomes part of the show: they vote through bar purchases, join competitions, mingle, take breaks, and engage with Frida’s world of humor, activism, and unapologetic openness. Every event lasts around two hours and creates a safe space for joy, exploration, and community. Frida Marida: Frida Marida is a Lebanese trans-disciplinary performing artist who seamlessly blends music, wearable costumes, and conceptual choreography. As a singer, songwriter, and speaker, she passionately addresses queer issues and human rights, creating performances that inspire and provoke thought. Introducing Middle Eastern music — which is Frida’s strength — into famous international songs is the main aesthetic direction of Frida’s art while dealing with discrimination, racism, and homophobia. In the Arabic language, Frida means ‘special’, and Marida means ‘sick’. Frida’s story is a lesson to share about body shaming, feeling inferior, emotional abuse, and inequality. By performing her own interpretation of famous international songs, Frida shares her stories and transforms them into useful real-life examples to solve her and others’ problems. The single Not A Camel (2023) tackles micro-aggression that a lover of a minority background lives in the Norwegian society, and recently (September 2025) Frida released Fri Da Nipple about freeing the nipple and equality. Karmaklubb: Karmaklubb is a nomadic queer platform that explores and challenges public space and cultural institutions through art, club culture, and critical dialogue. With a distinctly queer perspective, it creates inclusive meeting points across identities and works with partners ranging from small art spaces to major museums in Norway and internationally. Since 2018, the platform has produced over 350 projects — including performances, concerts, screenings, talks, drag, and social rituals — and also runs the international research and publishing initiative IGWTLI publishing. Karmaklubb is led by Tine Semb.
