ARA MALIKIAN
INTRUSO WORLD TOUR
On April 8 th, at Friedrich-Ebert-Halle in Hamburg, Ara Malikian presents his new tour 'Intruso',
a very personal journey that starts from the anguish of not fitting anywhere to finally
embrace the richness of his multicultural identity and find his home in the whole world
through art and music.
Venue: Friedrich-Ebert-Halle
Date: September 25 th 2025
Time: 20:00
In Lebanon, I was not considered enough of a "Lebanese" because I was of Armenian
origin; the Armenians did not consider me enough of an “Armenian” because I was born
in Lebanon; When I settled in Europe, I was not considered «European» because I was
not born in Europe.
This experience was also reflected in my relationship with music. Every note resonated
with the nostalgia of a home that did not exist, a place where I never quite fit in.
However, this condition of being an "intruder" gave me the opportunity to explore and
enjoy fascinating music and cultures, foreign to my own tradition, contributing my own
voice, my multicultural experience.
Thanks to my condition of being an “intruder”, I have discovered that the whole world is
my home. My home is in my body and in my soul, an infinite space where identity
transforms and music becomes a universal language.
