Liberating power of rage
ANGRYBODIES is pissed. About what? Capitalism, patriarchy, politics – the list goes on. The committed punk songs of ANGRYBODIES invite you not to suppress your anger for once, but to let it rip through your body. Park your mindfulness, yoga and therapy. Be f*!%ing furious for once!
Frontwomen Guus Diepenmaat and Anouk Friedli started out in theater. In 2019, they founded For Real vzw together, through which they develop performances and other artistic projects. With ANGRYBODIES, they decided to try something different: to move beyond the theater bubble, bouncing between pop stages and cafes. Meanwhile, their blazing a trail of destruction to freedom. Even before the first show was a reality, the promo video went viral on Instagram.
With lyrics like, “Frustrated man in politics, take some therapy. Angry woman in therapy, engage yourself in politics,” the duo calls for a changing of the guard. The usual suspects could use some introspection, and the unheard voices could speak more often, louder, and clearer.
