Nikola Vlok is an artist and performer who composes with folk guitar and electronica. She will be presenting a selection of unreleased tracks that acted as creative bridges for her upcoming EP, Swan Song.

Opening the evening is TZARA, also known as Tara Boraine, who will grace the stage with tender, soulful songs. TZARA is a Cape Town-based composer, producer, and multimedia artist. Rooted in the city’s alternative and electronic scenes, she works across live performance, sound engineering, and screen — with compositions featured in critically acclaimed productions including Steinheist, Summertide, and Africa & I.

She has performed across Cape Town, from underground clubs like EVOL to stages like CTEMF, sharing bills with Moonchild Sanelly, Egyptian Lover, and Pussy Riot. After a 3-year hiatus from performing — a period shaped by chronic illness and deep recalibration — she is emerging with new creations informed by complexity, hope, and the dynamics of breakdown and renewal. Her current practice focuses on sensemaking and truthseeking: distilling relevant signal in an age of creative noise.
