RESISTANCE THROUGH RITUALS by GmbH | 2024
The GmbH Spring 2025 “RESISTANCE THROUGH RITUALS”
For the occasion of GmbH’s Spring 2025 fashion show, LABOUR assembled a group of instrumentalists dubbed, The Resistance Ensemble, and created an original score of music based on a deconstruction of the well-known lament Lamma Bada, which is in a time signature of 10/8. At the end during the final applause, the ensemble played a rendition of the original tune.
Debuted at Berlin Fashion week on Jul 1st, 2024.
